This is from the NWS website............
THIS
SHOULD ALLOW HIGHS TO BE SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER THAN SATURDAY AND
GUIDANCE IS ALREADY SHOWING NEAR TO RECORD HIGHS ON TUESDAY.
THE GUIDANCE TEMPS ARE LIKELY ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE AND HAVE
RAISED FORECAST TEMPS INTO THE LOW 50S THUMB TO NEAR 60 INLAND.
THE GFS IS SHOWING THE AREA OF
24 HOUR MAX OF 2-3 INCHES SETTING UP FROM ST. LOUIS TO SOUTHERN
LAKE MICHIGAN WITH MOST OF SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN RECEIVING AROUND AN
INCH OF RAIN. WE WILL BE MONITORING THIS SITUATION CLOSELY AS RIVERS
WILL ALREADY BE ON THE RISE DUE TO THE RAPID SNOWMELT. AN ADDITIONAL
1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN COULD LEAD TO FLOODING PROBLEMS OF
CREEKS/RIVERS/FIELDS/DITCHES. WINDS WILL BE A CONCERN BOTH AHEAD AND
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM WITH 925MB WINDS OF 40+ KNOTS AHEAD OF THE LOW
AND NEAR 50 KNOTS BEHIND THE LOW AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
The ice is really going to start to erode and the runoff is going to reduce the visibility. I am tired of winter but ice fishing has really helped me keep my sanity while I have been unemployed. I know it isn't over yet, but the visibility issue might be with us for awhile.
