Justin Liles: A Milder Wednesday

A brief period of warmer air will move thought Wednesday ahead of our next clipper Wednesday night into Thursday. Once again, the lowest levels of the atmosphere are extremely dry. There isn’t much faith in the chance of seeing precipitation fall from the sky. We may see some scattered sprinkles or even flurries.

Following the cold front Wednesday night temperatures will take a plunge. We are going to be some 15°-20° cooler Thursday and Friday. We will see plenty of sunshine, but the cold northerly flow will be accompanied with gusty winds. This could make Thursday morning and Friday morning feel as if they are in the single digits to even below zero for pockets up north.

Temperatures will warm slightly through the weekend. There is a chance of light flurries Saturday night into Sunday. There is also a small chance of lake effect snow along the south shore in the U.P. of Michigan with northwesterly winds Thursday and Friday. If there is going to be any slick holiday travel, it will be in these areas.
