Nov 5: Wind, Storms, and Snow!

Wind remains the biggest weather impact of the week, with widespread wind advisories across the Northeast:

While not as strong as we originally discussed yesterday, 40-50 mph gusts are still likely with stronger ones right along the coast:

Later this week, another system will work it's way across the Eastern US, bringing more rain and the threat for severe storms across the Southeast:

The biggest threat with these storms will be damaging winds but an isolated tornado is possible as well. 

Next up is the chance not only for lake effect snow like we've been mentioning in previous blogs this week but also snow along the cold front that will be ushering in our cold air. The Euro model seems to be the most bullish, dropping 6" plus across Michigan:

The GFS also has snow but isn't quite as bullish on totals:

Both of those forecasts above show the 24-hr snowfall ending Sunday around 10 am. We will be watching our station in Davison, MI closely! The current forecast shows snow starting late Saturday night. Click on the image below to track the forecast and conditions on Sunday:

Finally, the story that will have most of the Eastern US talking will be the cold air forecast to plunge south early next week:

 First up, Monday AM lows will bring the freezing line all the way to North Georgia:

The highs on Monday likely won't get out of the 40s across a good chunk of the southeast with record cold highs possible for several locations:

And finally, Tuesday morning lows will bring a deep freeze all the way to the Florida panhandle:
