Happy first meteorological day of spring everyone! I know I have been inconsistent with these lately, but here is my weekly local forecast for Berkley. Besides some flurries tomorrow and a chance of snow showers on Wednesday, there isn't much weather to talk about. A potentially major winter storm, which I plan on blogging about, will be passing to our south bringing at the most some snow showers. Over the weekend and into most of next week, the temperatures will be at or below average. As a ridge moves into the area, temperatures will moderate and rise to at or above average late in the week. The radar at NWS Detroit/Pontiac will be down for 2 weeks starting March 5th for the dual-pol upgrade, so hopefully this quiet pattern will continue.

Written Forecast:

Saturday: Off and on flurries. Chance of rain 0% and chance of snow 30%. The high will be near 26F. Winds should be 5-10mph.

Saturday night: Skies should be mostly cloudy with some clearing late. Winds will be steady near 10mph. The low temperature will be around 18F. Chance of rain 0% and chance of snow 20%.
Sunday: A few clouds from time to time and cool. High near 26F with winds of 5-10mph. Chance of rain 0% and chance of snow 10%.

Sunday night: Mostly clear skies. The low should be around 19F and winds near 5mph. Chance of rain 0% and chance of snow 0%.

Monday: Mostly sunny. High near 32F. Chance of rain 0% and chance of snow 10%.

Monday night: A few clouds from time to time. A low of 20F can be expected. Chance of rain 0% and chance of snow 0%.

Tuesday: A few clouds. A high near 34F is likely. Chance of rain 0% and chance of snow 10%.

Tuesday night: Partly cloudy. A low near 26F. Chance of rain 0% and chance of snow 20%.

Wednesday: A few snow showers. A high near 35F. Chance of Rain 10% and chance of snow 30%

Wednesday night: Mostly cloudy. Low should be 27F. Chance of rain 0% and chance of snow 20%

Thursday: A few clouds, but mostly sunny and warmer. High of 41F. Chance of rain 10% and chance of snow 10%.

Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Low near 29F. Chance of rain 10% and chance of snow 10%.

Friday: Some clouds, more sun though and even warmer. High near 46F. Chance of rain 10% and chance of snow 10%.


Graphical Forecast:


Have a great start to meteorological spring and weekend. I plan on picking this back up full time over the next couple weeks. Slowly, I'll start the transition from winter blogging to spring/severe weather blogging. Also, I am in the process of writing a 2012 hurricane season summary. This is to cover any TCR's that I am not able to write.

Here is my first forecast map on the potential winter storm. It is still off shore, not fully sampled, and there are many uncertainties on track, intensity, and precip type/amount. I will have more updates later in the weekend.

What do you mean by meteorological spring? I thought we count it starting at the Spring Equinox?

Pink is wintry mix, I will be refining it as we get closer tomorrow.

I am on border of mix and snow on the map, but I don't think that my NWS is confident on anything coming out of this.

I'm not confident either, lol. A more confident forecast by me should come out tomorrow hopefully.

Silly Astro, we do count it at the equinox, but meteorologists consider March 1st the first day of meteorological spring.
