1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,500 Good morning, Northern Michigan. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,379 And a belated good morning it is. 3 00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:07,700 Running a little behind this morning. 4 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,119 So it's a little little later than normal, 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,980 but, hey. I'm here. 6 00:00:13,794 --> 00:00:15,875 And this is Cup of Traverse City. I'm 7 00:00:15,875 --> 00:00:17,954 Mike. And, of course, we're gonna talk about 8 00:00:17,954 --> 00:00:19,494 the weather or, 9 00:00:20,195 --> 00:00:21,815 the bomb cyclone. 10 00:00:22,914 --> 00:00:24,914 Yeah. I know there's a definition for that, 11 00:00:24,914 --> 00:00:27,074 but we've never heard that much on the 12 00:00:27,074 --> 00:00:27,574 news 13 00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:30,260 until the last couple of years. I I 14 00:00:30,260 --> 00:00:32,100 think they just wanna make it sound worse 15 00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:33,859 than it is. This looks like just a 16 00:00:33,859 --> 00:00:34,359 typical 17 00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:36,760 Northern Michigan winter storm. 18 00:00:37,539 --> 00:00:38,440 But, anyway, 19 00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:41,380 let's get on with the weather. Of course, 20 00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:42,760 snow showers today. 21 00:00:43,435 --> 00:00:46,094 Snow could be heavy at times. Widespread blowing 22 00:00:46,234 --> 00:00:50,554 snow mainly before 4PM. Steady temperature around 23 23 00:00:50,554 --> 00:00:51,054 blustery 24 00:00:51,835 --> 00:00:54,795 with a northwest wind around 25 miles per 25 00:00:54,795 --> 00:00:56,875 hour and the gust as high as 55 26 00:00:56,875 --> 00:00:57,935 miles an hour. 27 00:00:58,270 --> 00:00:59,090 Chance of precipitation 28 00:00:59,549 --> 00:01:00,770 is a 100%. 29 00:01:01,149 --> 00:01:02,609 Total daytime accumulation 30 00:01:03,469 --> 00:01:06,689 around six inches, and that's, I think, specifically 31 00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:08,370 for Traverse City, probably 32 00:01:08,989 --> 00:01:10,450 worse or better elsewhere. 33 00:01:11,734 --> 00:01:14,935 Snow showers likely mainly before 1AM 34 00:01:14,935 --> 00:01:17,274 tonight. Patchy blowing snow 35 00:01:17,575 --> 00:01:18,875 before 4AM. 36 00:01:18,935 --> 00:01:21,814 Cloudy with a low around eighteen. Blustery with 37 00:01:21,814 --> 00:01:22,954 a northwest wind 38 00:01:23,430 --> 00:01:26,069 15 to 20 miles an hour with gust 39 00:01:26,069 --> 00:01:28,630 as high as 70% 40 00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:30,650 chance of new snow accumulation 41 00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:33,189 of around an inch. So it looks like 42 00:01:33,189 --> 00:01:35,189 it'll be over this afternoon, at least the 43 00:01:35,189 --> 00:01:36,890 bad part of it, but we'll see. 44 00:01:37,614 --> 00:01:40,575 Tomorrow, snow showers mainly after 4PM, so I 45 00:01:40,575 --> 00:01:42,974 guess we got another one coming. High near 46 00:01:42,974 --> 00:01:45,935 23. Northwest wind 10 to 15 miles an 47 00:01:45,935 --> 00:01:47,555 hour with gust 25. 48 00:01:47,775 --> 00:01:49,394 I think that's gonna be more 49 00:01:50,129 --> 00:01:52,290 lake effect. And and, you know, of course, 50 00:01:52,290 --> 00:01:54,530 if you're in the, lake effect snow belt 51 00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:54,689 areas, 52 00:01:55,489 --> 00:01:58,709 expect more. That's usually how that works. 53 00:01:59,969 --> 00:02:02,129 But, yeah, I I don't know. You know, 54 00:02:02,129 --> 00:02:03,109 like I said, with 55 00:02:03,665 --> 00:02:06,305 with these weather terms, I know for a 56 00:02:06,305 --> 00:02:09,444 while, the weather channel was naming winter storms 57 00:02:09,585 --> 00:02:11,824 kinda like hurricanes, but there are a lot 58 00:02:11,824 --> 00:02:13,764 different phenomenon than hurricanes. 59 00:02:15,185 --> 00:02:17,764 A bomb cyclone. What was the other one? 60 00:02:19,699 --> 00:02:20,759 Polar vortex. 61 00:02:21,379 --> 00:02:23,699 That's another term we really didn't hear much 62 00:02:23,699 --> 00:02:25,319 about, at least in 63 00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:28,520 the media. I'm sure, you know, meteorologists 64 00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:31,239 might be using those terms, but, 65 00:02:31,875 --> 00:02:34,215 yeah, I don't know. Are are we sensationalizing 66 00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:35,974 click baiting, 67 00:02:37,235 --> 00:02:39,254 by calling it a bomb cyclone 68 00:02:39,555 --> 00:02:40,935 instead of just a normal 69 00:02:41,474 --> 00:02:42,455 winter storm? 70 00:02:43,074 --> 00:02:43,895 Who knows? 71 00:02:44,275 --> 00:02:44,754 But, 72 00:02:45,635 --> 00:02:46,775 interesting anyway. 73 00:02:47,610 --> 00:02:48,430 You know, yesterday, 74 00:02:48,969 --> 00:02:50,169 it rained all day. 75 00:02:50,810 --> 00:02:52,830 Of course, I was down in Grand Haven 76 00:02:53,449 --> 00:02:55,769 and drove home yesterday. Glad we came home 77 00:02:55,769 --> 00:02:57,469 yesterday instead of today. 78 00:02:58,489 --> 00:03:01,229 And, hey, since we're keeping score here, 79 00:03:02,555 --> 00:03:05,275 let's see. Traverse City, so far this season, 80 00:03:05,275 --> 00:03:07,914 has had 35 inches of snow. Normal to 81 00:03:07,914 --> 00:03:09,594 date's 28.5, 82 00:03:09,594 --> 00:03:11,854 so we're only a 123% 83 00:03:11,914 --> 00:03:13,055 above normal. 84 00:03:13,675 --> 00:03:14,175 And 85 00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:17,849 let's see. Let's pick out another one here. 86 00:03:18,150 --> 00:03:20,409 Let's see Houghton Lake. Houghton Lake, 87 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:23,609 has had 28.5, 88 00:03:24,629 --> 00:03:27,924 inches so far. Normal to date's 21.7. 89 00:03:27,924 --> 00:03:29,864 They're a 131% 90 00:03:30,004 --> 00:03:30,745 over normal. 91 00:03:31,685 --> 00:03:32,164 And, 92 00:03:32,485 --> 00:03:33,384 yeah. So 93 00:03:34,004 --> 00:03:37,204 snowfall is is definitely less than last year 94 00:03:37,204 --> 00:03:39,704 or at least timed better. So 95 00:03:40,090 --> 00:03:42,109 I'm not complaining whatsoever. 96 00:03:42,409 --> 00:03:44,329 I haven't had to plow too much this 97 00:03:44,329 --> 00:03:44,829 year. 98 00:03:45,209 --> 00:03:46,810 I did have to shovel my way out 99 00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:48,750 to the studio this morning, 100 00:03:49,449 --> 00:03:49,949 and, 101 00:03:51,129 --> 00:03:52,810 that's been a couple hours since I've been 102 00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:53,870 out here. And 103 00:03:54,495 --> 00:03:56,495 there's about an inch and a half fallen 104 00:03:56,495 --> 00:03:58,574 since then. So, yeah, somebody was saying it 105 00:03:58,574 --> 00:04:01,215 was an inch an hour. But, anyway, I 106 00:04:01,215 --> 00:04:03,455 guess we'll we'll talk about the weather all 107 00:04:03,455 --> 00:04:05,935 day today, and then, tomorrow, I'll come up 108 00:04:05,935 --> 00:04:08,194 with some, better story to 109 00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:11,020 add to it rather than the weather. And, 110 00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:12,539 by the way, I think most of the 111 00:04:12,539 --> 00:04:15,259 schools around here are closed too, but you 112 00:04:15,259 --> 00:04:18,300 probably already know that by now. Again, sorry 113 00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:21,500 for being late, but, just been a crazy 114 00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:22,000 Monday. 115 00:04:22,939 --> 00:04:24,160 Catch me tomorrow.
