SUNNY SATURDAY!! After a cloudy Thanksgiving, and a mostly cloudy day today, we will definitely see a lot of sunshine on Saturday and the first half of Sunday. Still chilly, but a LOT prettier! A storm system will move through the Appalachians on Monday, giving us a good chance for accumulating snow. It does not look like a big storm, but may end up being mainly lake-effect as the bulk of the system probably stays east. We will remain in a cold pattern all of next week, with a chance for some additional snow at times...

WINTRY START TO NEXT WEEK... We've been talking about this for a while...the good chance of accumulating snow early next week. The computer models are starting to look more consistent...and what it shows right now is a decent snow, but not a snowstorm. We'll continue to watch the latest track. In the mean time, it will be a pretty nice weekend here in Michiana. The clouds may take a while to give way to sunshine on Friday, but then it will be sunny on Saturday, and then sunshine with clouds increasing late on Sunday...
One struggling restaurant owner in Niles found a creative way to help other local restaurants that are being forced to shut down. Now his employees are also giving back.
GOOD TIMING ON THE WEEKEND... While there will not be as many people on the roads as usual this Thanksgiving Day weekend, you could not ASK for better timing. The rain is mostly over by morning, and the chance of snow holds off until early next week. Clouds will dominate on Thanksgiving, then we'll end up with partly to mostly sunny skies the rest of the 4 day weekend. Chilly temperatures will remain, though, and then even colder air arrives next week. And there will be a chance for accumulating snow Monday and Tuesday...

When we share health department numbers of Coronavirus cases, we are reminded that each number is a person, and each person is a member of our community.
DRY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND... It continues to look dry, but chilly, for our 4 day Thanksgiving weekend. The rain we're getting right now will continue off and on through Wednesday and into Wednesday evening. While the clouds remain most of Thanksgiving Day, it should turn partly to mostly sunny Friday through Sunday. As we head into next week, and into December, it's looking like a big change is coming our way. It is likely that we turn much colder, and it is possible that we get accumulating snow. It's still way to early for a guess as to how much... 🙂
