Continued Very Cold with Hazardous Travel

Very cold temperatures and lake effect snow will continue to result in slow and treacherous travel through tonight. The snow will still greatly reduce visibilities and slowly add up, with the highest additional amounts generally near and west of Highway 131. Wind chills as low as 20 below are expected. An additional area of snow will affect areas west of a Holland to Reed City line Wednesday. Read More >

Variable cloudiness across the area on the 21st of August not only made it tough to see the solar eclipse, it also caused more variability in the temperature trends. 

The 1st temperature is the warmest reached through the midpoint of the eclipse and the 2nd is the lowest temperature reached during or up to 15 minutes after the eclipse.
