Dylan's Weather

An area of low pressure in Kansas will slowly move E/NE the next several days and be centered over western Pennsylvania by early Sunday.

This track will give us plenty of cloudiness along with the threat for off and on light rain/drizzle. So after a few days of mostly sunny and dry weather, things are going to get gray and damp.

The clouds will thicken up from SW to NE tonight with still some fog possible. Some drizzle and light rain is possible mostly south of M-115. Lows will be in the upper 20’s and lower 30’s N/NE to the lower to middle 30’s SW. Winds will be E/SE 5-10.

Mostly overcast skies are on tap for Wednesday with patchy light rain and drizzle still in the forecast. By the afternoon, it looks like the best chance for rain will be in the north. Highs will be in the lower to middle 40’s north and middle/upper 40’s to lower 50’s south. Winds will be E/SE 8-18.

Thursday will be interesting due to the fact that the computer models are indicating a mostly dry day with some filtered sunshine. However, with the storm system close enough to the area, we still could see some drizzle or some light rain. If we do see some sunshine, however, temperatures could soar into the 50’s. If we stay cloudy and drizzly, we could remain in the 40’s. Stay tuned!

Friday through Sunday is looking cloudy and damp with a continued chance for rain showers.

While March is known for wild weather sometimes providing us with winter snowstorms, ice storms, rain, and even severe thunderstorms, we will not see anything like those over the next several days.

Strong high pressure will continue to hang out over the Great Lakes through Saturday giving us dry weather with ample sunshine.

We will see a chance for a light rain/snow mix Sunday morning then a chance for drizzle and light rain for Sunday afternoon.

We are looking at some unsettled weather potentially for next week. The computer models (and we have many of them) really don’t agree on what may happen. Some models move something in Tuesday/Wednesday, while some keep it farther south. We are keeping Monday dry with increasing clouds late with a chance for rain for the middle part of the week. It is looking to remain mild for the next week or so.

Mostly sunny skies are expected for the rest of today with highs well into the 30’s with a chance to hit 40 degrees in a few spots (kind of like what happened Tuesday). Winds will be N 6-14mph.

Tonight will be similar to last night with clear to partly cloudy skies with some patchy fog. Temperature forecast is tough with some areas dropping into the single digits in the coldest areas and the teens to around 20 elsewhere. Winds will be N 3-8mph.

Thursday and Friday are looking mostly sunny with a few scattered clouds. Highs will be in the lower to middle 30’s Thursday and into the 30’s and lower 40’s Friday.

The clouds should thicken up on Saturday night with that light mix chance early Sunday. Light rain is possible Sunday p.m. Highs should be in the middle to upper 30’s with a few lower 40’s.

We will continue to monitor the potential storm system for next week! Stay tuned!

Hey Guys,

I first want to say sorry for a lack of updating the website, there has been a TON of things going on, and life’s busy.

—————————————————————————————–

Now I have been blessed with many wonderful opportunities over the past few years, from Dylan’s Weather which taught me a lot about weather forecasting and how to run a weather program, to producing the McBain News which taught me invaluable skills that many kids never really get to learn. These opportunities have given me a lot of experience and I am thankful for the many people that have supported my adventures.

Over the past few weeks we have been working on some AMAZING things that we plan to bring you this year.  Things that I hope will change the way you watch the weather.

Now, all I can tell you is that this is a huge project and it’s now underway. Things are already starting to take place; things that I hope you at home will enjoy, and trust us to give you the news, weather and sports. This project involves a TV STATION as well as some very cool new ideas that we are planning to implement.  I will have more updates in the weeks to come, and when I can tell you more I will! But for now just know that big things are coming and I plan to keep you all in the loop!

I’ll post again soon!

*High impact Winter Storm to hit the state Tuesday and continue through at least Wednesday a.m. Heaviest snow should be south of M-20 towards Muskegon, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo and Detroit but Northern Michigan has a chance to see several inches with the E.U.P. lesser amounts. Travel conditions will be most hazardous in southern 1/3 of L.P. This storm will create travel issues, as well, at airports across the state.

Please check out the Winter Weather Alert Graphic on www.9and10news.com/weather for the latest on Warnings and Watches*

High pressure will keep us quiet today with partly sunny skies and seasonable temperatures. More cloudiness will be in western Lower Michigan. Highs will be in the lower to middle 20’s north and middle to upper 20’s south. Winds will be N/NE 5-10mph.

The clouds will thicken up tonight with some light snow moving in late (around daybreak) mostly southwest of M-115 from Frankfort to Mt. Pleasant/Clare. The first to see the snow will be, of course, Oceana, Mason and Newaygo Counties then spread NE. Lows will be in the upper single digits to lower teens north and teens north of M-55 and upper teens to around 20 south of M-55. Winds will become NE 6-13mph.

The storm will track south of the state Tuesday-Wednesday a.m. From Tuesday a.m.-Wednesday p.m., the heaviest snow, again, will be in the southern 1/3 of the state where 8″-12″+ is expected to fall. 4″-8″+ could fall in the northern 2/3 of the L.P. (most of the viewing area) with a bit less in the E.U.P. If this storm, however, trends farther north, obviously we will have to adjust the heavier snow amounts north as well. Highs on Tuesday will be in the 20’s. Winds will be NE 12-20mph and gusty especially Tuesday afternoon and evening then more northerly Tuesday night. The U.P. will see the snow increase Tuesday evening/night into Wednesday a.m.

We will see system snow Wednesday a.m. with lake effect taking over in the afternoon and evening. Additional accumulations are expected especially in the snowbelts. Highs will be in the lower to middle 20’s wiht brisk North winds.

Few snow showers are possible for Thursday and Friday.

Keep it tuned right here for the latest updates!

After a mild (and soggy) weekend, we are looking at some colder, much colder, weather moving in for late Wednesday-Friday. Before that happens, though, snow will move through tonight and Tuesday.

——-

Tonight, the snow should increase from SW to NE with a couple inches possible by daybreak. Lows will be in the teens to lower 20’s. SW winds this evening will become W/NW 8-16mph and gusty late.

Occ’l snow is likely Tuesday a.m. then lake effect snow showers will take over in the p.m. Another 1″-2″ will be possible in the first 1/2 of the day. Temperatures will remain steady through late morning then possibly fall a little in the afternoon. Wind will be NW/W 12-22mph and gusty.

The leading edge of the more frigid air takes aim on us Wednesday late p.m. This will continue to give us lake snow showers through Friday.

Highs on Wednesday should be in the middle to upper teens north and upper teens to lower 20’s south. Thursday’s highs will be even colder. The mercury should only get into the upper single digits and lower teens north and lower to middle teens south. We should be a couple degrees warmer for Friday, but still remaining frigid.

Scattered snow showers remain in the forecast Saturday. A few snow showers are possible in the north Sunday with some moderation in temperatures expected.

Rain/drizzle/fog will contine for the rest of today through the evening hours with the exception in parts of the U.P. mostly west of M-123 where snow and a mix will continue. Remember to drive, even in the daytime hours, with your headlights on for safety!

Then from SW to NE overnight tonight, we are looking at cold enough air to move in changing the rain/drizzle over to snow/mix. Lows tonight should be in the upper 20’s to lower 30’s SW areas to the lower to middle 30’s N/NE areas. Winds will be S/SE 8-18 in the U.P. and S/SW in the L.P. 8-18.

Temperatures will slowly fall Monday so we are looking at snow being the primary precip type. The coldest temps should be in the SW portions of the viewing area with the cold air coming in from the SW. P.M. temperatures should be in the lower to middle 20’s SW and into the middle to upper 20’s NE areas. Winds will be SW 15-25+ with the strongest winds in SW areas especially near Lake Michigan.

Tuesday will be blustery and colder with stiff W/NW winds 15-25mph and gusty. The best chance for snow will be in the a.m. then pure lake effect banding should take shape in the p.m. Highs will only be middle/upper teens north and lower/middle 20’s south.

Occ’l snow is possible for Wednesday with highs only in the teens and lower 20’s.

Turning even colder for Thursday with highs in the upper single digits/lower teens north and into the teens south with some robust lake snow showers likely.

Lake snows are likely to continue for Friday.
