Rain moving in with a band of snow across the N areas of the region. Temps are running low 30's inland to mid 30's on the shore. They could see some icing in the inland areas. Windy off the Lake gusting up to 25-30. Looks like the next round will be snow this weekend, but I might be on the N extent. South Shore should do well, and DLH.

WSWch out for tomorrow. Looks like 1/4" of ice possible here along the North Shore, especially inland areas. Some snow along border as it switches over up there Fri night. 3-6" of snow possible late Sat into Sun with the 2nd LP moving into the region. Rain or snow, but NO ICE, please. In March 2010, we had an ice storm that left 1-2" of ice along the North Shore inland areas, and it decimated the woods. Doesn't look like we will come even close to that, but ice is never good.

Very nice day today. Low 50's with a cumulus sky. Come Friday, tho, looks like rn/frz rn over to some snow on Sat. GFS keeps flipping me from hvy sn to mix. Other models keeping a mix, which seems more reasonable. If there was a bit more ice on the Lake, then I would have a chance at all snow. Border areas may get a decent hit, tho. Come late Sat into Sun, that 2nd low might turn out pretty good.

Parent's day in late July looks pretty good with scattered stms. Again, could be pretty warm, even hot for some.

Come July 4, looking at a CAN front affecting the N areas, and it looks pretty nice, and could be rather warm (hot) for some.

Juneteenth this year, believe it or not, I gave a forecast for that 4 yrs ago to a troll. Here's my cast for that day. Generally fair with a CAN front pushing in during the day. (I rechecked, and I'm staying with it)

On Father's Day, I'm expecting a front moving into the W sub with fair wx in the E areas.

D-Day on June 6th is looking like a system entering the sub with shwrs/stms.

For Memorial Day this year, I'm expecting a wet end to the holiday weekend. Should start off pretty decent, tho.

Outlook this Spring....warms up, and turns into Summer.

Crap snow for me in town with only 2", but areas to the N got 4-10". Lots of white rain yesterday aftrn when the snow started back up for me, and it was intermittent. But the precip was very welcome. That's a silver lining.

Measured 1.9" of snow this morning as a heavy band moved through. Looks like a dry slot for now. We shall see what develops later.

Overlay this on that sat pic. Very impressive snows.

Looking for a good hit on Sunday. Unfortunately it'll be during the day when most of it falls, so it will be very wet, and probably mix with rain for a while, at least here along the shore.
