The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Today will be the warmest day of the week with highs in the lower 50s and sunshine, but with a stiff southwest breeze it will not feel as warm as last week. Saturday afternoon/evening our next weather system arrives, with the chance for snow showers and reinforcing colder air. A widespread 1"-3" is expected, with mainly accumulations on elevated and grassy spots. Roads could be a little slick in spots, but no major travel disruptions. Cold air lingers Sunday and Monday with a mix of sun and clouds, but warmer air starts to nudge in by mid next week. It will also become more active, with several chances for rain or a rain/snow mix. Longer range temperature outlooks still keep Michigan in at/above normal readings into the first full week of March and perhaps beyond. Normal highs are in the mid/upper 30s. Don't forget to wake up early on Tuesday March 3 between 6AM and 7AM to see the total lunar eclipse. We may see a "blood red" moon, providing skies are reasonably clear. Get more here.
