Freeze Warning

Temperatures could reach the mid 20s early Monday Morning

A Frost Advisory is in effect this Sunday morning. Most low temperatures will fall to the low 30s. It will be even colder early Monday morning, when low temperatures may reach the mid 20s. With mostly clear skies and calm or nearly calm winds, lakeshore areas could be just as cold as inland areas.

Tuesday morning there could be some scattered, mainly light frost, but after that I don’t see any more frost the rest of this week into early next week.

There are small chances for a light shower today (Sun.) and Tue. The best chance today is in southeast Lower Michigan. There’s a very slight chance of a period of snow flurries, mainly in northern Lower MI - nothing that would stick to the ground.

This is the Severe Weather Outlook for this Sunday. SPC is forecasting no areas of severe weather today. There are five areas where General Thunderstorms are possible, including the Thumb area of SE Michigan.

Friday/Friday night there were 150 tornado warnings issued in the contiguous U.S. and 311 severe thunderstorm warnings.

After a cool start to Tuesday, temperatures are headed above average again Tuesday afternoon and beyond. We should see a dry 5 days giving river levels a chance to go downward. Grand Rapids has had 2 1/2 times average rainfall (252%) since March 1.

There is still snow on the ground in the Keweenaw Peninsula and from their east to near Sault Ste. Marie. Marquette (airport) still had 9” of snow on the ground Saturday AM. They have had 274.7” of snow this season and that’s 83.8” above average. Sault Ste. Marie has had 188.6” of snow this past winter and that’s 70.6” above average.

Also: Physics is phun. Floodwaters in downtown Grand Rapids. Winter is certainly not over in Canada.
