LANSING, Mich. — Clouds will thicken again today. A weak system lifting into the region will produce a chance of light snow or mixed precipitation in the afternoon, especially along/north of I-96. A stronger system is on target to bring mainly rain for Friday late afternoon/evening/night. This system will likely produce temperatures briefly warmer on Saturday morning in the 50s, before falling the remainder of the day. It may also generate wind gusts of between 40 and 50 mph with the core of the strongest winds coming through Saturday early afternoon. Once we get beyond the next couple of days, above normal temperatures will be the main player over the next 7-14 days! At this point, we have at least a 90 percent chance of above normal temperatures leading almost up to Christmas. That said, it will be difficult to get accumulating snow during this time frame. It continues to look more and more like the possibility of a "green" Christmas, but stay up on later forecasts!
