GREAT LAKES WEATHER: Weather system one and two

13 January 2011

Weather system one and two

Ok, again I shall talk about this weather system which will impact us over the weekend, we'll call that weather system #1 and then we'll see another weather system come out of the southern Plains and we'll call that weather system #2.

Weather System #1 will come in the form of a clipper system. It'll move in from southern Manitoba and it will move into the Great Lakes region sometime during the afternoon on Friday. This will not be anything too extreme, just about an inch of snow in most places. By Saturday, this system will cross into central Michigan will it will begin to get a little stronger, but still, looking at maybe an inch of snow for places like Toledo and Fort Wayne, and possible even Detroit. By Sunday this system will have moved out of the region and into Quebec, so it wont really be much for us except for some lake effect snow in Buffalo and possibly Erie.

Weather System #2 is going to be the kicker however. It is still too early to make a solid snow fall total prediction, BUT we will be seeing snow from it places like Toledo, Detroit, Fort Wayne, and even Erie. On Monday morning, a low pressure will form down in the Ozarks - a prime area for the formation of decent snow systems - and it'll quickly move up northeast towards the Great Lakes region. However, it wont be until late Monday night and early Tuesday morning that we'll see those snow showers start to enter the region. By mid Tuesday morning we'll see this low pressure in Indiana, so that means that places like Fort Wayne and that area could start to see some snow. How strong this system will be is a bit iffy, but at this point it looks like it'll be fairly effient -- but definetly not a record breaker nor anything to panic about.

...I bet this all sounds confusing huh? Hm...let me think for a moment of how to put this in more simple terms just incase I lost you.

Basically, we're going to have two weather systems move through the Great Lakes region within the next couple days. The first one will give about an inch of snow to most places in the region, and the second one will only effect the southern and central Great lakes region. Green Bay, you might not be effected by the second system too much. Both of these systems are nothing out of the normal, and they will not be any record breakers. Just basically some snow.

I'll have more coming up in the morning, but for now, I am Timmy Albertson and that's the weather! Keep checking back for updates.
