- Fairly Quiet Weather Next Several Days
After a couple weeks of stormy March weather we shall see a bit
of a lull the next few days with only a couple clippers moving
through with limited moisture. The first arrives Saturday night
into Sunday with light rain and wet snow but no impacts to travel
expected. Temperatures will turn colder next week as the polar
jet sinks south across the Great Lakes but only light rain or snow
as another clipper moves through late Wednesday into Thursday.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 153 AM EDT Sat Mar 21 2026
VFR conditions to start the overnight but low level moisture could
manifest itself as fog and low clouds bringing patchy IFR
conditions between 08Z to 12Z. Current satellite shows only
isolated areas of low stratus across central and western Lower
Michigan at 0545Z but this could be expanding in the next few
hours. Expect fog and low clouds to dissipate after sunrise and
any IFR conditions improve to MVFR then VFR by late morning.
Winds will go southeast this morning then south to southwest by
afternoon with some gusts to 20 knots possible by late afternoon
or evening.
