Locally its going to be a very quiet stretch in our weather. Saturday and Sunday will both be mild, but breezy with winds gusting to near 30MPH at times. Temperatures will be climbing into the upper 50s to near 60.F with lows in the middle 30s both days, which is very mild for November.

Looking Ahead

Next weekend is our next chance of precipitation. Rain develops in the local area on Saturday November 24th before turning to light snows later that day. Some accumulations appear possible but it does not look heavy in this area, soon after effecting us, this storm system really intensfies over Michigan where a big snowstorm may possible be in store for Upper Michigan area. We are just left with the cold air behind this system for Sunday, and the models show it sticking on the cool side for the rest of November, which is a good position for some snow if a system actually develop but there are little in the way of this happening, but there are shots. One on the 29th which gives us light snow, then it turns drier but still remains on the cooler side. Warmer air begins to build to our west for Early December. We could possibly get into December without a snowpack again this year.
