Macomb County and the rest of Southeast Michigan remain under a wind advisory going into Thanksgiving morning and snow is on its way too. That’s the word from the National Weather Service, which issued the advisory at 10 a. m. today. It is due to expire about 4 a. m. Thursday. Winds are coming out of the southwest at 25 mph, occasionally gusting higher to 45 mph. Meanwhile, falling temperatures and snow will be the topic of this holiday weekend. Steve Considine, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Oakland County, said Macomb County residents can expect a dusting to 1 inch of snow overnight. That will cause slick driving conditions for travelers driving to their Thanksgiving destinations. “We’re going to get a little bit tonight and into Thanksgiving,” he said. “Our next storm is expected Saturday afternoon and night, and that looks to bring another 1-3 inches by the time it moves out of here.” Temperatures will drop into the upper 20s overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning, which, combined with ongoing snow showers, could create icy patches on roads and sidewalks. “We’re in late November to early December, so the snowfall likely won’t stick around as the ground is still to warm,” Considine said. High winds were believed to be the cause of a set of telecommunication wires that fell on Ryan Road on Wednesday morning, according to a DTE Energy spokesperson. Police have closed the road to traffic from 10 Mile to Frazho roads while work crews assess the damage and remove the fallen lines. Windy conditions could also make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Motorsits are urged to use extra caution while on the road. The forecast for the next few days calls for:.

Wind decreases through the weekend
Gusty winds prevailed today and will continue tonight through most of tomorrow, gradually easing by the end of the weekend. Aside from the breezy conditions, it looks to be a decent weekend with mostly sunshine and cool temperatures.
The strengthening area of low pressure that brought rain from yesterday through this morning is now moving away. High pressure will settle in by Sunday, allowing the pressure gradient to weaken. As a result, the wind won’t be as strong by the end of the weekend.
Wind gusts will remain strongest tomorrow, especially in the morning, with gusts near or above 30 mph possible. While noticeable, this won’t pose a damaging wind threat for most areas. It will stay breezy through tomorrow evening before the wind relaxes overnight into Sunday. Sunday afternoon will see only a light breeze.
Saturday morning temperatures will start in the low 40s, then rebound to the mid-50s under mostly sunny skies. With clear skies and lighter winds Saturday night, temperatures will drop to near freezing by Sunday morning. Sunday will be a cold start, and the day will stay cool with highs mainly in the low 50s under mostly sunny conditions.
Don’t forget, Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend—hello to 6:00 a.m. sunrises and 4:30 p.m. sunsets!
The weekend will remain dry, with the next chance of showers arriving Monday night and lingering into early Tuesday morning.

The Houston area faces a wet weekend after prolonged dry weather
After an extended dry spell, rain is expected to fall across the Houston area this weekend, bringing with it the chance for some localized flooding.
Isolated showers and thunderstorms are forecast for Friday, according to Bradley Brokamp, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Houston-Galveston office. He said Friday morning that heavier rainfall is in the forecast for Saturday, with most of the region expected to receive 2-4 inches of rain, while some areas could get 4-6 inches.
The soil is expected to absorb more water than usual due to the recent dry weather, Brokamp noted. However, urban parts of Houston will “probably see some ponding in roadways on some spots.” “It’s Houston,” Brokamp said. “It’s a big slab of concrete that doesn’t really absorb water well.”
Saturday’s rain is anticipated to come in two waves, with the first wave arriving overnight between Friday and Saturday. A line of storms moving across Texas from west to east is also expected to bring strong winds to the Houston area and choppy waters along the Gulf Coast.
Wind could be the most significant impact to the region.
The risk for severe weather should dissipate by Sunday, Brokamp added.
Stormy weekend weather is expected across much of Texas, prompting Governor Greg Abbott to activate the state’s emergency response systems on Thursday afternoon. The governor’s office stated that many parts of the state face the “threat of severe thunderstorms including large hail, damaging winds, possible tornadoes, heavy rainfall, and flash flooding.”
“State and local emergency response partners are actively monitoring weather conditions and are on standby to provide all necessary resources to protect Texans and our communities,” Abbott said.
“Texans are encouraged to regularly monitor road conditions, make an emergency plan, and heed the guidance of state and local officials.”
