Recreational Forecast

Mountain Forecast:
Today, the summits will mostly be covered by clouds with some occasional periods out of the clouds. Widespread showers over higher elevations west including the Greens are expected throughout the day. Some wet snow or sleet is possible above 5000 feet. Light winds <15mph becoming southwesterly, keeping temperatures chilly, in the 30s and 40s.

***During spring, many higher elevation trails are closed. If a trail is muddy, find an alternative trail. Hiking on or around muddy trails increases erosion and damages plant life. ***

Wind At Lower Elevations:
Today, Sunday light southwesterly winds less than 15 mph are expected. The outlook for Monday calls for south-southwesterly winds less than 20 mph.

Detailed Discussion

This pocket of colder air and energy swings in today, Mothers Day, with more periods of clouds, just limited periods of sun, and scattered, passing showers. The periods of clouds and brief, showery interruptions will keep temperatures on the cool side, with upper 30s and 40s at night, and mainly 50s to low 60s during the day. Although the coolest weather should ease up early next week, the chance for showery weather continues. A low pressure system centered over Lake Huron will dominate the weather pattern for the beginning of the week. As the warm front associated with the low moves through the area on Monday it will produce more showers west, with increasing probability east throughout the afternoon as the front propagates north-eastward. As the warm front moves out of the area a cold front will take its place by Tuesday midday. This front will bring widespread showers with higher storm totals likely. The speed of the progression of the front is still uncertain which could impact the timing and totals of precipitation. It is possible that the cold front could produce some rumbles of thunder on Tuesday as well. By Wednesday morning the cold front will move eastward brining the showers along with it, allowing for a brief pocked of high pressure to push in. Temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday will look more seasonal with higher in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. The next chance for significant precipitation will return by the end of the week.
