Good morning, Northern Michigan. This is Cup of
Traverse City for the 12/12/2025.
I'm Mike.
And today, I'm gonna start a little different.
I have a news story that came across
my desk here, and I think it's pretty,
interesting, especially for those of you that live
a little further out from Traverse City.
So there's gonna be a new hotel or
at least it's proposed
at the Cherry Capital Airport.
And the idea with that one is is,
first off, they're gonna have
a rooftop bar overlooking
the
runways and and ramps and whatnot at the
airport, which is kinda cool. They wanna locate
it kinda near the employee parking lot. And,
basically, it's gonna be an 89 room
hotel.
And
the the purpose of it or, you know,
obviously, make money. But, the purpose of it,
would be for people that, you know, come
in from further out that have a really
early morning flight. It'd be a handy spot,
and I'm sure there's gonna be parking involved
and all that. But,
yeah, they proposed it to the airport authority
zoning board
last night
and or yesterday, I guess, probably during the
day.
But, yeah, 89 units could have an event
space, rooftop bar overlooking the runway,
and, you know, it'd be, addressing a long
standing demand for travelers,
for accommodations
at the airport.
So that's kinda kinda cool for for those
of you that
have to travel to Traverse City to fly
out,
you know, which is a lot of, lot
of places around here.
I'm lucky I'm a mile and a half
from the terminal, so not a big deal.
But, yeah, I just thought that was extremely
interesting. I'll have a link in the show
notes over at cuptraverscity.com.
And let's see. Oh, yeah. Last night you
know, more aviation relay. This isn't an aviation
show, but,
I had the
holiday party for
the experimental aircraft association
chapter two three four last night over at
Sledders,
and it was very well attended.
And, yeah, just really great to get together
with a bunch of good people
and and all that good stuff.
Anyway, let's get to the weather for the
weekend.
Today's 40% chance of snow showers mainly after
10AM.
Highs near thirty.
Snow showers tonight,
low around twelve. Southwest wind 10 to 15
miles per hour becoming
west after midnight.
Winds could gust as high as 30, a
little breezy.
And chance of participation
precipitation
is 90%.
Looks like we could get even two inches
of snow. Yeah. That's alright, I guess.
Saturday,
we're gonna have more snow showers, mostly cloudy.
Accumulation less than an inch. Well, that's good.
Saturday night snow showers,
another inch of snow.
Sunday snow showers,
accumulation less than an inch.
Sunday night, 30% chance of snow showers after
1AM
and mostly cloudy
with lows around fifteen.
Fifteen. Oh, boy. You get cold.
Anyway, that is,
all I really have for today. So so
a little short and sweet one. Go check
out that story about the hotel at
Cherry Capital Airport, and I will catch you
on Monday.
