Storm Team 8 forecast; 5 a.m.; 03062022

>> WELCOME BACK. WE SAW HIGH WINDS OVERNIGHT KNOCKING OUT POWER FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS WEST MICHIGAN. METEOROLOGIST EMILY HAS BEEN TRACKING IT ALL FOR US THIS MORNING. EMILY AMOS THERE'VE BEEN A LOT. I DON'T KNOW. I SAT THROUGH IT YOU MUST'VE BEEN REALLY TIRED. I WOKE UP THE RAIN WAS REALLY COMING DOWN. SO THE SOUND OF THE DOWNPOURS ON YOUR ROOF. THE SOUND OF THUNDER AND THEN THOSE STRONG WINDS TO THEY MADE A LITTLE BIT OF A WRECK US LAST NIGHT. >> THINGS HAVE CALMED DOWN A LITTLE BIT RIGHT NOW. BUT WE DO HAVE ANOTHER PUSH OF STRONG WINDS ON THE WAY THIS MORNING IN MUSKEGON. YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS CAMERA IS KIND OF JUMPING UP AND DOWN A BIT. WE ARE SEEING SOME STRONGER WIND GUSTS RIGHT NOW CLOSER TO THE LAKESHORE AND OVERNIGHT WE SAW WIND GUSTS THAT WERE IN THAT 50 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR RANGE HOLLAND HAD A GUST OF 60 CASCADE 59 NORTON SHORES 59 RIGHT AROUND 15 GRANVILLE AND THEN JAMESTOWN ENDED UP AROUND 42 NOW GOING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THOSE WIND SPEEDS ARE GOING TO INCREASE ONCE AGAIN AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. SO RIGHT AROUND 06:07AM. WE'LL START TO SEE THOSE WINDS GUSTING OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR FOR A LOT OF AREAS. ONCE AGAIN AND THAT PUSH OF STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY TO MID MORNING HOURS. ONCE WE GET CLOSER TO 11:00AM THOSE WIND SPEEDS START TO DIMINISH. AND THEN THIS AFTERNOON IS NOT GOING TO BE AS WINDY EITHER. SO THE HIGH WIND WARNING COMES TO AN END AT 01:00PM, THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL LIKELY OCCUR BETWEEN 06:00AM AND ABOUT 08:00AM AND THEN WE'LL START TO SEE THINGS TAPERING OFF. NOW. OUR TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE STILL WARM. 51 IN MOUNT PLEASANT. 49 IONIA. NOW KALAMAZOO IS STILL AT 60 YESTERDAY. OUR HIGHS RANGE FROM THE 60'S EVEN TO AROUND 70 IN KALAMAZOO. BUT THAT COLD FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT COLD AIR IS FORECAST TO SETTLE BACK IN SO ENJOY THOSE 50'S OUT THERE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE BY THE TIME WE GET TO AS EARLY AS 07:00AM. WE SHOULD BE CRASHING BACK DOWN INTO THE MID 40'S LOOKS LIKE WILL TEMPORARILY DROP INTO THE UPPER 30'S BY THE LATE MORNING HOURS, THEN REBOUND TO THE LOW 40'S KEEP IN MIND, EVEN THOUGH THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE EARLY THIS MORNING. IT'S STILL GOING TO BE BREEZY ALL DAY. SO AFTER A DAY WHERE WE MADE IT TO THE 60'S AND EVEN THE 70'S YESTERDAY, YOUR FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE BACK IN THE UPPER 20'S AND LOW 30'S. STORM TRACK LIVE RIGHT NOW IS QUIET. WE HAD THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ROLL THROUGH OVERNIGHT. BUT THOSE ARE NOW PASSING OFF TO THE EAST. CAN'T COMPLETELY RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SHOWERS. STILL TODAY THAT COLD FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH RIGHT NOW AND WE SHOULD BE SEEING DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE MOST PART BEHIND IT. FUTURECAST SHOWS THAT WELL, WE'LL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF CLEARING HEADING INTO THE AFTERNOON. THEN THE CLOUDS ROLL RIGHT BACK IN AND TOMORROW WE'RE GOING TO SEE A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW. IT'S AREA SOUTHEAST OF BATTLE CREEK THAT HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING THAT WINTRY MIX, MOST OF WEST MICHIGAN WILL SEE THE SNOW AND IT SHOULD BE TAPERING OFF BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. BUT THAT MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE COULD BE A BIT SLIPPERY YOUR SNOWFALL FUTURE CAST SHOWS ABOUT ONE TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW FOR MOST AREAS AND THEN NORTH OF GRAND RAPIDS. THOSE TOTALS COULD BE A BIT HIGHER BY MONDAY AFTERNOON, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY LOOK, QUIET WILL BE IN THE MID 40'S BY THURSDAY AND THEN WE'LL HAVE MORE SNOW CHANCES BY THE END OF THE WEEK. 60'S RAIN, SNOW ALL IN ONE WEEK. IT'S CRAZY. YEAH. ALL JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS. IT REALLY IS JUST A WEATHER WHIPLASH SO WE'LL GET THROUGH IT YESTERDAY WAS
