Under mostly clear skies, we'll see chilly weather tonight, with the coldest readings across the Eastern U.P.
Up and down temperatures are expected over the next several days with another threat for scattered showers arriving Thursday night into Friday morning when a wet snowflake could mix in as well. Temperatures are expected to turn much warmer early next week.
4/25/2018, 2:30pm EDT: The Sturgeon River near Chassell has gradually risen to just under 10 feet over the past few days due to increased runoff from the snow melt. If you live in the Sturgeon River drainage basin and you start to see changing conditions or any minor flooding, please let us know. Thank you!

It has about another foot to go before it comes over. It’s not Supposed to be cold to freezing tonight so it may be over by morning. But Thursday night it may freeze and that will slow it down a bit. Looks normal for this time of year. ❤️

We'll be in Cheboygan this evening talking about northern Michigan's severe weather and how to become a trained weather spotter. It's free & open to anyone. Hope to see you there!

Rain showers are not a threat, they are a blessing. Nothing can grow without them.
Thanks to our friends at the NASA worldview site we are able to post this video showing a MODIS satellite loop of the diminishing snow pack across the region since last week. The first image is from 4/18 and the last image is from 4/24. Notice the rapidly diminishing snow pack over northern Wisconsin into southern Upper Michigan. Though the snow pack has melted in those areas, there are still some higher terrain locations near Lake Superior that have over 2 feet of snow still on the ground.
Cooler conditions will prevail the rest of this week, especially near Lake Superior. After a dry day today, expect chances for rain and even a little snow to return Thursday into Friday. Much warmer conditions are on the horizon though, beginning late this weekend and continuing into much of next week.
Despite a few passing light showers tonight, it'll be partly cloudy into tomorrow. Enjoy the near normal temps again tomorrow!
