Quick, what are the most hated words in a southwest Michigan winter weather forecast?
Chances are a few years ago, those would be “lake effect,” but “polar vortex” might be overtaking those. We can expect both this winter according to the prediction from the Old Farmer’s Almanac people. Tim Clark is with the Old Farmer’s Almanac and says we can expect a dramatic winter.
“There will be a series of storms coming,” Clark tells the Michigan News Network. “We figure seven major storms coming across the northern tier of the country. So it looks like a time where everyone should bundle up and be prepared.”
High water levels on the Great Lakes could also lead to higher snowfall totals. Looking forward to next year, he says rainfall should be less than what we saw this past spring, but they expect summer temperatures to continue to rise across the board.
