Winter Weather Advisory issued for our area

AccuWeather Meteorologist Dave Bowers is predicting accumulation will be on the lighter end of that estimate…if that.

High pressure and the sunshine will build back in for Wednesday, but we will still be cold & blustery, as temps will only reach into the 20s Wednesday afternoon.

“Probably by the afternoon commute, there will be a half inch”, he said. Snow showers are expected to last the longest in New London County, and could continue until early Wednesday.

The advisory covers Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties. The snow in this case is so dry it would probably take 20 or even 30 inches to melt down to just one inch of water. “I think three might be the exception”.

“Within heavy lake-effect squalls off all of the Great Lakes, visibility can fall to near zero and make driving extremely hard if not impossible”, Doll said.

In the case of the clipper to start this week, snow in most areas should only be a few inches at most.

A Lake Effect Snow Advisory for Orleans and Genesee counties goes into effect at 10 a.m. Tuesday until 10 p.m. Tuesday evening. Travel is expected to be hard Tuesday because snowfall will peak during rush hour of the morning commute. Quite windy. High near 25F. “You always get wet roads and then they re-freeze at night”. Becoming partly cloudy later. Scattered showers developed over parts of the Southwest as a wave of low pressure deteriorated over the region. Low 13F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 miles per hour.

Thursday: Cloudy, chance of snow ending, milder.

2 inches tonight into Tuesday. Isolated snow showers and flurries will remain possible throughout the rest of the day.
