Gotta love Michigan weather:


(NEWS 3) - Todayâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s weather will certainly have people talking. Sunshine and a warm, southwest wind will push afternoon temperatures to near 50 degrees – nearly 20 degrees warmer than average.

The relatively mild, sunny weather wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t last. Another area of low pressure will be moving from the southern Plains to the Ohio Valley tonight, bringing plenty of moisture along. It will intersect a cold front moving across the Lower Peninsula Friday morning. Weâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll see increasingly cloudy skies tonight as the systems approach.

The precipitation will begin as rain late tonight becoming mixed with snow early Friday, turning to all snow with falling temperatures Friday afternoon.

Back to todayâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s weather: even if temperatures this afternoon reach the lower 50s, we wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t set a record for this date. Just one year ago, we were warmer.

Our high temperature on January 12, 2005, was 59 degrees. We had rain with strong thunderstorms late that night. The day before, January 11, between one and four inches of snow blanketed the area -- proof that the weather in West Michigan can go from one extreme to the other in a short period of time.

Similar story here. Just a few days ago, it was 39C (102). Yesterday, it was 25C (77) and rained all day. Tonight, it's COLD and 18C (64). Tomorrow's top temperature will be 22 (71)

Yes, but like Katie said, I am afraid we'll have snow very late this year.

That's usually what our weather is like. This year, though, we are unseasonably dry and warm. We've been in the 50s-60s for the past few weeks. Today is a "cool down" to our more seasonable 40s. But we're right back into the upper 50s for the weekend.

I guess I shouldn't complain, but it sure doesn't feel like January! Not to mention, I think the Front Range is going to go up in a puff of smoke any day...

I'm in Sioux Lookout which is in NW Ontario Canada and we have been seeing temperatures far above the norm as well. For January our daytime high should be anywhere from -13F to -31F. Today the temp is 28 degrees!!, we are so much warmer than the norm!

Sounds about like us, except it's supposed to go up to 72*F today and be sunny all day. But rain and colder (cooler) on Friday/Saturday with highs in the low 50's and lows in the 20's/30's (which is actually about normal for this time of year.)

Ohio Valley here, Cincinnati. It's around 60 out, feels like Spring, nice & sunny. I love it, although, I am a tad weirded out by it? Makes me feel like hitting a festival & walking around with a beer in my hand.

I sorta wanted to play around in the snow more than just ONE day this winter! We've only had one really decent "snow day". However... the lack of snow means less struggling to get up my driveway & the prayers whispered as I slide all over the place on the way to work.

I'm sure we're not done with the snow.
