Rain Turning to Snow PM Update

Posted on by MichaelV (Otsego)

Well, the excitement of heavy lake effect snow has once again floundered as the atmospheric conditions don’t have enough energy to set it in motion.  We may see a couple inches or so along the lakeshore counties tomorrow and Wednesday before temps warm once again into the upper 30s by the end of the week.

Wednesday will be our coldest day with temps around 20°

No big systems are foreseen over the next week although there are hints of a potentially impactful system a week from Tuesday.

PM Update:

Rain will change to snow this evening. Any wet roads tonight will freeze up by Tuesday morning, creating some slick roads for the Tuesday morning commute. Snow showers will then continue for Tuesday and Wednesday, keeping the potential for slick roads. Accumulations of 1 to 3 inches will be likely along and west of U.S.-131.

  2. Slim, with today’s rain I would guess we are close or maybe past the record for most rain/precipitation for the year for GR? I think it was down to less than an inch before today’s rain.

    1. At this time it looks like GR total season rain fall amount is at 48.60″ the record is 48.80″ Grand Rapids is now in 2nd place and should reach record levels this year.

  3. Currently 44* degrees out at thee YARDofBRICKS NE of GR temps are dropping artic front is knocking on the door the NWS is calling for 1-3 inches of snow now for GR to the west tomorrow Winter weather advisory coming?? Stay tuned..INDY

  4. Today is the earliest sunset of the year 5:07 pm in Grand Rapids. The sun rose at 8:01 am (I know it was cloudy and you missed it) that gives GR 9 hours and 6 minutes 10 seconds of daylight. December 21st has the shortest time between sun rise/sunset (8:10 am/5:10 pm) with 9 hours 0 minutes and 31 seconds.

  5. Back to currently weather or planet Earth 46* degrees out at thee YARDofBRICKS NE of GR with rain and wind ..INDY ..

  6. As for as the “big storm” midweek: “Snow totals don’t look too impressive with this round of lake effect snow”

  7. Hey gang here are some fun facts. On this date there have been 3 years in a row with snow on the ground (yes last year had snow on the ground on this date) but that said in Grand Raids history there have been 61 years with 0 or just a trace of snow on the ground on this date (December 9th) of those 41 had no snow at all. This year will be year number 62. Note there have been 52 years with at least one inch of snow on the ground with the most on the ground being 9″ in 2009.

    1. Interesting! I could read stuff like that all day. Thanks Slim! Of course posting about previous years will now expose you to the mocking, ridiculing, and name calling of a couple others. Don’t mind them, children will play.

      1. Don’t forget about being skunked when the storms of the past are always overhead…Yes rain or shine the kids will be fine just watch out for back seat drivers..lol..INDY

        1. What on earth are you talking about? Why don’t you go outside and take a snow depth measurement.

  8. The new CPC keeps the warmth on until January now! Any cold shots will be very brief. I love short winters!

        1. Look in the mirror.. Wow, denial much.. Lol !! What happen to ALL this snow coming this week.. Oops !! Lol !!

  9. With the surge of warm air ahead the aritic front and the rain falling still not going to hit 50* degrees now that’s amazing weather facts TODAY not last week not a month ago and surely not last year ….Have a great Monday …let it snow let it snow let it snow…INDY

  11. Get ready for the arctic air and snow showers! Then next week watch out! Rock n roll will never die!

  12. Well there’s a couple posters who aren’t going to like reading today’s entry. Imagine that, just like last year the big “snows” are always a week or two out.
    Looks, feels, and even smells like Spring outside this morning. 50 degrees and steady rain.

    1. Already more snow this December has fallen then last year when mama berry drives the car you love the back seat don’t you? Always posting about last year lol….INDY…
