The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: A WIND ADVISORY is in effect today for most of the area through 4 P.M. this afternoon for our inland locations, but until 11 P.M. tonight at the immediate lakeshore. Winds will be from the southwest/west at 15 to 30 mph. Expect gusts inland around 45 mph, and 50 mph at the lakeshore. Today another fast moving clipper system moves into the Northern Great Lakes providing highs in the mid/upper 40s. We may see a few scattered rain showers this afternoon/evening before the cold front drops temperatures into the 20s for Saturday! Meteorological Spring arrives Saturday March 1, but it won't feel like spring through the weekend. Another warm up in the 40s arrives Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but likely comes with the chance of rain and wind as a bigger system moves in. The track of this system will need to be watched, as accumulating snow may be possible if this system moves further south/east of Michigan. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
