A warming trend is expected through next week, along with fairly settled weather. A slight chance of rain/snow is in the forecast for tonight into Saturday, mainly near US-10. Monday brings a slight chance of rain to more of Lower Michigan, but any rain that falls is expected to be light.

-- Light snow possible north of Muskegon early Saturday -- High pressure will dominate the weather pattern through the weekend as it settles over the Michigan/Indiana/Ohio region. This high pressure will allow for mid level drying due to a positively tilted trough that will extend through most of the Mid Atlantic and the Southern Great Lakes. The sole exception is a weak area of low pressure emanating from an upper level trough at 500 mb. This trough has just enough moisture and instability to bring clouds through northern Lower Michigan Friday night into Saturday. Along with this will be a chance for snowfall along and north of a line from Muskegon to Alma. Latest HREF shows that while there should be enough moisture for precipitation, any accumulation chances continue to dwindle with any chances for snow accumulations should be north of US 10. The precipitation that lingers into early Saturday morning will quickly transition to rain. -- Dry weather ahead as warming continues -- A respite from the wet weather is upon us. An upper level ridge will build over the region Sunday into Monday that will only strengthen the mid to lower level high pressure. This will allow for mainly dry weather through the end of next week with high pressure dominating the Great Lakes. The temperatures will be colder then normal today but will continue to build with Max temperatures possibly upwards of 20 degrees above normal by the end of the upcoming week. This will be due to the before mentioned high pressure along with 850mb temperatures that should warm from around zero C on Saturday to around +10 C by Wednesday and Thursday of next week. That warmth aloft translates into surface high temperatures warming from the 50s to the 60s this weekend and into the 70s next week.
Still trying to get the furnace shut down for awhile…Im sure a few will transfer to air conditioning with temps in the 60’s next week on here lol….INDY
Oh yes, if it hits the mid to upper 60’s many will be complaining that it is too hot and humid and the AC will be cranking at full tilt! Too funny!
Give 100 plus inches of snow every year, but it is time to transition to golf and put the skis away! Incredible!
Good afternoon from Mississippi! I’m in the Yazoo City area at the moment.
Summer next week! I love long summers!
I think next week looks like the nicest since mid-September, when you factor in the length/strength of sun, clear skies, and light winds. I’ll be trying to enjoy my time outside as much as possible!
Also Easter Sunday looks amazing! I remember many years where Easter feels more like late winter than spring
After a cold start this morning the next week looks to be mostly sunny with a warm up and it could become much above average by late next week. So some warm spring weather is on its way.
