Chc. Sprinkle Today

November 4th, 2009 at 11:03 am by Bill Steffen under Bill's Blog, Weather

Local <–Live radar of W. Michigan.  Nothing more than a sprinkle in most areas today.  There is a small chance of a little stronger light shower or a few snow flakes, but this will all be very light.  So far a few sprinkles at Muskegon, .06″ up at Ludington.  There is a small trough in easterm Wisconsin that will keep the clouds around tonight into tomorrow AM.  Thursday night we’ll get below freezing before a little mild air comes in on Friday.  It will be a little breezy Friday PM, but at least it’ll be dry for the Friday night high school football playoffs.  Saturday we could catch a light shower.  It’ll be an overall milder pattern with high in the 50s to near 60 from Friday thru early next week.  No big storms on the horizon now.   I’m working on the winter forecast this AM.  Here’s GRR NWS radar, GRR storm total rainfall, Great Lakes radar Storm Total Rainfall, latest surface observations, a surface weather map, GRR NWS discussion, Visible Satellite loop (daytime), Infrared Satellite Loop (night), Here’s Milwaukee NWS radar and Chicago radar, Chicago storm total rainfall, the Spyglass Weather Station (Holland Channel) and the Muskegon GLERL weather station. Gale Warnings for Lake Michigan.

    There was some sun earlier but its clouded back up again, 51° here with those cloudy skies. I know Bill has not came out with his winter guess yet but.
    Another long range “guess” this time by John Dee. He think the upcoming winter will be warmer and have less snow then the past two. I am beging to fall into this thinking as well. Sorry snow and cold weather lovers! Any way time will tell.

    Feels to me like it will be a up and down winter… snowstorms and freezing, then warming back up, rinse and repeat.

    Looks like another cloudy day here… :) After that wind storm Hallowe’en night, it really started to look like November around here. To me, November is cloudy, wet and cold, so things seem normal.
