Warm, Rainy, Icey, AWWW Got To Love Spring!!!

A storm system will be taking aim on the region for Saturday and Sunday.It appears that this will be a "warm" system giving us mostly a rain (and thunder) threat. There is, however, a chance for an occasional mix in the U.P. and Straits area for Saturday as temperatures here will only reach into the middle to upper 30's. Farther south, we are looking at temperatures mostly in the 40's....hence a rain event is looking likely for both days. Dense fog is also expected Saturday night with the warmer air overrunning the snow pack that still exists in many areas (mostly north of US-10).While the weekend in general is looking gloomy, Sunday will be the day we will have to monitor flooding potential especially in our central counties. There is also a chance for thunderstorms that will enhance the heavy rain threat. Highs on Sunday will be similar to Saturday's highs.In the near term....for tonight, we are looking at partly cloud skies early then increasing clouds later on. Lows will be in the teens and lower 20's.With considerable cloudiness Thursday along with a chance for some light drizzle/rain in the L.P. and some very light mix in the U.P., highs will be in the middle 30's north to lower/middle 40's south.On Friday, skies will clear up a bit allowing some sunshine through. Highs will be in the lower 40's north and upper 40's to lower 50's south.Then getting ready for that unsettled weekend!

Now also i want to add in that we are going to see 3 systems to come together to bring possibly a MONSTER storm. Now there could be a huge problem. We could either see rain, or ICE... If we see the ice. The storm system would be called an official ice storm.

I will have a better update tomorrow...its getting late...
