Rain may change to snow this evening on the backside of low moving northeast through the Detroit area into southern Lake Huron..so a white Christmas may still occur.
12/25/2014 7:00 AM 1.16 0.9 M T M One of the wettest Christmas eve's! Over one inch of rain that ended with a period of wet heavy snow as strong low pressure moved over the Detroit area and into Lake Huron....a favorable track for heavy snow here, but with no cold air nearly all the precip fell as rain...rain changed to a wet heavy snow around 6pm and accumulated to one slushy inch thus giving us a white Christmas eve. Snow ended around 11pm and with the loss of dynamic cooling...temps rose back up to 36 and most of the snow melted away by Christmas morning. Thus; Christmas 2014 will go into the record book as being GREEN. Happy holidays & safe travels!
