Christmas Weekend Weather

This past week the local area experienced a break in the deep cold. The snow melted and high temperatures reached the 50's on Tuesday. Since then temperatures have lowered some but have remained above normal with generally quiet weather for the area. This weekend will see the weather transition to a colder snowier pattern that should close out the year.



Today a front has bisected the area keeping temperatures for locations close to the lake around 40 with occasional light rain and fog while those further south experienced high temperatures in the 50's. Overnight low pressure will bring rain back to the much of the area as temperatures remain steady.


On Saturday the front will push off to the south and east as waves of low pressure travel along it. High temperatures around 40 will occur early as temperatures fall during the day.  Morning rain is expected to mix with and change over to snow. At this time mostly minor accumulations can be expected.



On Sunday cold air will continue to flow to the area as low pressure tracks through the Great Lakes region. Light snow is expected to develop by noon and continue through the evening time. High temperatures will be around 30.


Snowfall Sunday is expected to be light but the duration should allow a few inches to accumulate. Lake effect snow overnight could produce additional accumulations in the snow belt.




On Christmas day the weather will largely be quiet but cold. Lake effect snow showers could continue in the snow belt with additional accumulations possible. High temperatures will be in the 20's Conditions will remain  cold on Tuesday with high temperatures in the 20's with a continued chance of snow.
