The high pressure system with its attending
fair weather that was enjoyed yesterday will slowly
progress to the east, allowing a southwest flow to bring
us an unseasonably warm day today. Clouds will be on the
increase into the late afternoon, as showers push into
our region overnight tonight and into tomorrow, bringing
some beneficial rainfall. Temperatures will remain above
average for the next several days as the system clears
the coast by late week.

Highlight
With snow being a major part of Michigan’s climate, the state has now begun to use it in an innovative way. Instead of sitting around and waiting for it to melt, engineers have designed and constructed “snow houses.” These houses are made entirely of snow and contain sculptures and furniture made of ice. The houses have become a popular tourist attraction that demonstrates the creativity of snow.
