Cold is only going to be here for 2-3 days, and it’s not even that cold. Statistically equal to high temps in the low to mid 40′s for this time of year – which we’ve had plenty of this winter.

Now if we saw cold that was statistically equal to the record temps we saw (25+ degrees above average), now that would be COLD!

Boy, the forecast here sure sounds night and day compared to what I heard tonight!

Granted, it’s Detroit, but WXYZ is predicting:

25 Sunday, 20 Monday, 19 Tuesday, and then back to 25 Wednesday as we “warm up the rest of the week.” And zero big snow storms on the horizon.

This quick shot of cold air before warming back up is now also supported by the CPC who put all of Michigan back in average temps Jan 24-30:

Bill, the 00Z NAM is looking less than impressive with the clipper on Sunday. It appears to be waaaaaaaay north. I wonder if thesis a sign, that we once again just get clipped by cold?

Welcome aboard! Typically, most of the immediate suburbs surrounding Grand Rapids (Wyoming, Walker, Grandville, Kentwood, etc.) benefit from a West Wind or a WNW flow. NW flows result in the most snow going from Holland and to the South, but bands of snow frequently come in plenty far enough to give the Wyoming area at least some snow. NNW would favor mostly the extreme SW portion of the state. SW flowing Lake Effect is also good for areas along and north of M-6 (roughly), so there are typically 3 pretty good patterns for decent LE in GR. You were basically on the money when you assumed WNW or W.

Yup, those are probably the best for you. Northwest can bring you snows too.

I am new to the area, can someone enlighten me as to what the best wind flow is for LES in Wyoming? I’m assuming WNW, or W.
