Saturday, Feb. 10, 2018 South West Michigan – Might Be A Break Today From New Snow
Currently 17 degrees with a NNE wind of 5 mph dropping that to feeling like 10. Dew Point 10, Barometer 30.24, Humidity 74%, Visibility 7 mi, Sunrise 7:46 am, Sunset 6:06 pm. Generally cloudy today with a high of 23. Light and variable winds.
70% chance of overnight snow. 1-3″ expected. Low 15. Light and variable winds.
Supposedly no new snow today. That’s a good thing. The current snow and cold won’t be going anywhere, but at least we get a day with nothing new added to the snow total on the ground. We really don’t need any more. I measure a bit over 9″ average in my little back yard. That’s plenty. Feeling blessed that Winter Storm Mateo pretty much slid to the south and east of us. Not good news for others in the southern, eastern part of the state, but better news for us here in the South West corner.
We do have a River Flood Advisory in effect until further notice. As of 9am today the stage was 11.4 feet. Bankfull is 12.0. Flood stage is at 18 ft. so there’s a good ways to go yet before things get super serious. But the outlying areas, the low areas are still going to be getting water and ice they don’t need or want.
