4Warn Weather – After a very wintry like into the week, with snow showers or flurries for most of the region, that trend will continue looking ahead into the start of the weekend on Saturday.
The northwesterly flow will continue for the first half of the weekend, so we will keep the chance of a few snowflakes or a few snow showers into the forecast along with breezy winds. High temperatures heading into the mid to upper 20s by the afternoon. Once you factor in the winds, wind chills will be into the teens and single digits throughout much of the day.
We will keep some cloud cover into the forecast overnight tonight into early on Sunday morning. Temperatures will remain on the cold side of things with overnight lows into the mid teens.
The snow showers and flurries will wind down for the end of the weekend as we watch an area of low pressure move through the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic region. This will bring a major winter storm to those parts of the country, and Southeastern Michigan will just miss this storm by a matter of miles.
Areas from the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic region will see upwards of 6 to possibly 12 inches of snow, once you go south from Kentucky into the Tennessee Valley, you start getting into the chance of a crippling ice storm with upwards of a quarter inch of ice possible in some areas.
We will keep the cloud cover into the forecast into the end of the weekend for Southeastern Michigan. Cold temperatures will also be sticking around, high temperatures heading into the upper 20s by Sunday afternoon.
Looking ahead into the start of next week on Monday, we will bring back the chance of some snow showers into the forecast. Temperature is not moving a whole lot once again, only heading into the upper 20s by Monday afternoon.
We keep the chance of some snow into the forecast, looking ahead into the middle of next week on Wednesday, with another disturbance sinking to the south and east out of Canada. High temperatures into the mid 20s by the time we get to the middle of next week, and we will keep the cloud cover into the forecast for Thursday before another chance of snow works into the region by the end of the week on Friday. High temperatures remaining below average in the middle 20s by Friday afternoon.
