Winter Coat, No Coat, Heavy Winter Coat

Friday looking like not to bad of a day. We will be out ahead of a cold front that will have Southwest flow on Friday pushing temperatures near 50 degrees. Cold Front slides through overnight Friday and opening the door for chilly weather on Saturday. It will be dry on Saturday but it will be cold. Michigan State football Saturday looks cold. With tailgate temps in the mid 30s and kick temp at noon around 38.
As quickly as we cool down Saturday, we will rebound nicely on Sunday with highs in the 50s. It will be wet though with a chance of showers. Chance of showers will continue on Monday and Tuesday highs very mild for thanksgiving week. Temps in the 60s.
Looking ahead to Wednesday and Thanksgiving , another storm system will effect the Great Lakes. First look at this system and first thoughts is that will start out with rain with this system. Then models quickly change us over to snow on Wednesday night and Thanksgiving. Bitter cold air looks to be behind this system. Highs possibly may struggle to get out of the 20s starting on Thanksgiving and next Friday.

Monday Night Forecast

High pressure is building in from the North and East. This will keep the weather quiet for sure. But with NE winds around the High Pressure right over the warmer waters of Lake Huron. This will create some lake clouds. This will cause some differences in temperatures. With the cloud cover along M-25 up the Lake Huron shore line, this should hold low temperatures in the low 30s in these locations and around the city of Detroit. Get closer to US-23 and towards Lansing. Another night in the 20s is expected.



Quiet weather and November like temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday. Election Day forecast other than a few passing clouds looks good. Highs will be around 50 Tuesday and Wednesday.

Next Front comes in late Wednesday. This will open the door for some of the coldest air we have seen this fall.
.


Cold air spills in hardcore Thursday Night. Friday temperatures struggle to hit 40, infact I think most of us stay in the 30s. Also Thursday night and Friday. Some of us could see our first snowflakes of the year. Lake effect snowshowers will get going Thursday Night and Friday. As of right now, I am not expecting snow accumulation around Metro Detroit, but Northern MI and the thumb might see some.

Good News as of now in the extended forecast is that the big storm expected in the eastern part of the United States Friday and Early Saturday should stay far enough east that it really won't impact MI and the central Great Lakes Much.
