Michigan is About to Go from Snow to Swimsuit Weather
We live in Michigan, so it should come as no surprise that the weather can be, well, dramatic. I mean, it was actually colder in Detroit on Easter than it was on Christmas. How is that possible? It seems very unfair, but such is life in Michigan.
Earlier this week, much of lower Michigan got trampled with snow, which is fairly odd for April, but does happen in these parts. Parts of the Detroit area and the Thumb even had a winter weather advisory on Monday, which just ended Tuesday morning. Not sure about you, but I’m so over the snow and ice. I was over it back in November, so having it in April is extra annoying. Thankfully, Michigan’s weather luck is about to change.
Many Michigan meteorologists are saying this will be the last “big” snow that we get this season. I sure hope so. What’s more exciting is that by this weekend, much of lower Michigan will be in the 70s- even near 80. According to Weather.com, Detroit will hit 75 on Sunday, albeit with a chance of thunderstorms, so maybe not ideal for sunbathing. But, don’t get too excited, because after Sunday, the highs dip back into the lower 50s. Elsewhere in Michigan, Lansing is projected to hit 75 on both Saturday and Sunday, Flint is on target to hit 73 on Saturday and 75 and Sunday, Grand Rapids is projected to reach 74 on Saturday and 71 on Sunday and Traverse City is expected to reach 68 on Saturday and 66 on Sunday.
I’m so crossing my fingers that this will be the trend going forward. So far, April has been chilly and rainy, although they do say April showers bring May flowers. In any case, make plans now to enjoy the warm weather this weekend, because it’s a long time coming.
