Freezing rain has been on the menu for this evening here in lower Michigan, but it looks to be transitioning to plain old rain as surface temperatures warm into the thirties. My friend Lisa and I were up in Stanton earlier, visiting the Beshadas, and I expected an icy drive home, but it didn”t turn out that way. Driving was fine. And now, seeing that rain is in the forecast rather than snow, I’ve had the pleasure of switching the reflectivity table on my radar from winter mode to rain mode. I take my joys where I can find them. This is a fleeting one, but kinda nice. Temps are forecast for the thirties into tomorrow, but drop back into the twenties by Wednesday.
Meanwhile, severe thunderstorms have been scooting across Texas and Oklahoma. A line of embedded supercells produced at least one tornado warning earlier. The storms now have transitioned to a couple small lines with bowing sections plus “scrap” storms, and overall things seem to be weakening.
Today has been an active weather day both north and south, and more appears to be in store for tomorrow. Gotta love this time of year!
