Back To Reality

I hope everyone enjoyed the day or two break from winter. Colder temperatures return for Friday along with windy conditions. At time winds may gust Friday afternoon up to 30mph. I do think we will stay below Wind Advisory status.

Speaking of winds. Tomorrow is not a good day to be out on Lake St. Clair. We will have whats known as the "off shore wind" wind coming out of the west may push the ice away from the shore. So unless you would like to go for the ride of your life, stay off the lake. Also I believe they now have a credit card machine in the rescue chopper.

Jumping to this weekend. Its not looking to bad as High Pressure builds into region. Temperatures seasonable, sorry not 50s. But highs will be in the 30s with lows in the teens and 20s.

Next week is starting to look very active. Will start things off with Monday. As a system will develop over the central plains and head towards the Great Lakes on a long wave pattern. First chance of precipitation comes Sunday. Still don't know what pre-cip type we are looking at, especially south of a Saginaw/Alma/Port Sanilac line. But just the heads up this could bring our snow shovels and snow blowers out of the garage once again.
