To help you plan ahead, here\u2019s a look at what you can expect this winter: Southeast Michigan is likely to see a milder, wetter winter than usual. The<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"none\">National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released a forecast predicting warmer temperatures for the season.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you&#8217;re hoping for snow days, you might be disappointed. With higher-than-average precipitation and slightly warmer temperatures, rain or sleet are expected to be more common than snow. There will also be some La Ni\u00f1a conditions this winter, which is a climate pattern where the tropical Pacific Ocean\u2019s surface temperatures cool down. For the Midwest, this usually means more wet weather than usual.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">So, while you might not get the snow-covered winter wonderland you were hoping for, make sure to keep your winter gear handy \u2014 Michigan weather can always surprise you! Hopefully, this forecast takes a bit of the uncertainty out of what\u2019s ahead.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Neighbor,\u202f\u202f\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u202f\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s been an eventful November with the election of our new president and the selection of legislative leaders at both the state and federal levels.
