We may not get socked with anything quite as bad as the three feet of snow that got dumped on Maryland a few days ago, but lower Michigan is poised for a major snow slam starting tomorrow morning. The current warning text from GRR reads as follows:
A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM TUESDAY TO 1 PM EST WEDNESDAY. HAZARDOUS WEATHER... * 6 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED FROM DAYBREAK TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. * THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS EXPECTED TOWARD THE INTERSTATE 94 CORRIDOR WHERE 8 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED.

Here’s what the NAM-based F5 proprietary snowfall total shows for Wednesday at 18Z. (Click on the image to enlarge it.) The GFS moves things more to the south and probably is a bit more in line with the NWS forecast. But either way, tomorrow is going to be very different from the beautiful day we’ve had here today in West Michigan.Well, what else can we expect? It’s early February, after all, and the groundhog probably was spot-on in his forecast for six more weeks of winter. I guess that explains why there’s open season on groundhogs in Michigan.
