Hot off the press from the NWS/Detroit AFD:

THIS IS WHERE THE EXTENDED FORECAST STARTS TO BECOME A BIT MORE COMPLICATED AS MODEL TRENDS IN THE PAST 24 HOURS HAVE LATCHED ON TO A STRONG SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE…WHICH LIFTS NORTH/NORTHEAST OUT OF THE GULF/MEXICO DURING THIS TIMEFRAME AND PHASES WITH THE STRONG NORTHERN STREAM SYSTEM. THIS SCENARIO WILL MOST DEFINITELY BRING MUCH COLDER AIR BACK INTO THE AREA EARLY/MID NEXT WEEK AS A LARGE EASTERN TROUGH DEVELOPS…SO HIGHS WILL BE NO BETTER THAN 25 AND LOWS 10-15 MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS CHANGE ALSO HAS POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS IN TERMS OF SNOW FOR THE AREA…DEPENDING ON JUST WHEN THE NORTHERN/SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVES PHASE. CURRENTLY…MOST SOLUTIONS TAKE THE RESULTANT STORM TO THE EAST OF THE AREA…BUT ANY SHIFT TO A SOLUTION WITH FASTER PHASING WILL INCREASE THE CHANCE OF THIS STORM AFFECTING SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN BY TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.

A big storm is showing up on the models for Monday/Tuesday timeframe, but right now looks like an East Coast storm. Hopefully Margusity will mention the Big Daddy (tee hee) and curse it NW and it nails us, instead of them! Something to watch, at least!

Yes – we here in DeWitt got a good 3 inches and still snowing here as well. SURPRISE!! LOL. Glad we didn’t get the ice, though. I need the solar plow – I have frozen snow that I can not remove from my driveway. YUCK!

opps didn’t see this on coming! lol

sounds like there is a good chance for LES thurs-fri…
NWS…
A SURGE OF COLD AIR WILL FOLLOW THE COLD FRONT BY LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND REST OVER THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS APPEARS TO
BE A GOOD SETUP FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. H8 TEMPS DROP TO -17C
AND INVERSION HEIGHTS ARE UNLIMITED FROM ABOUT 06Z FRIDAY TO AROUND
21Z FRIDAY AS ANOTHER SHORT WAVE HELPS PERK UP THE LAKE EFFECT
INTENSITY. LIFT IS NOTED WITHIN THE DGZ IN THIS TIME FRAME. HAVE
BUMPED UP POPS IN THESE PERIODS. MEAN LOW LEVEL FLOW IS RATHER
PERSISTENT FROM 285 TO 300 WHICH WOULD FAVOR MUCH OF THE SW PORTION
OF THE CWA. THIS MAY NEED TO BE MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE HEADLINES AS
THE EVENT APPROACHES.
