- Quiet Weather into Early Next Week

The quiet weather pattern continues through the weekend as a southern stream low tracks well south of Lower Michigan. The northern stream remains separate with clipper lows passing north of the Great Lakes on Friday and again Monday. Temperatures moderate as upper heights rise over the weekend.

The next chance for precipitation is on Tuesday as warm advection increases with enough moisture to bring a chance of rain or mixed precip with the highest chances across the northern forecast area. We will have to watch the placement of a cold anticyclone across the Hudson Bay region during this time as it will be a close call for freezing rain or frozen precip by Wednesday and Thursday especially across the northern forecast area, which has seen its share of freezing rain episodes during previous periods of milder temperatures this winter.
