0:00 Good morning, Northern Michigan. This is Cup of Traverse City for the 12/12/2025. I'm Mike. And today, I'm gonna start a little different. I have a news story that came across my desk here, and I think it's pretty, interesting, especially for those of you that live a little further out from Traverse City. So there's gonna be a new hotel or at least it's proposed at the Cherry Capital Airport. And the idea with that one is is, first off, they're gonna have a rooftop bar overlooking the runways and and ramps and whatnot at the airport, which is kinda cool. They wanna locate it kinda near the employee parking lot. And, basically, it's gonna be an 89 room hotel.
0:51 And the the purpose of it or, you know, obviously, make money. But, the purpose of it, would be for people that, you know, come in from further out that have a really early morning flight. It'd be a handy spot, and I'm sure there's gonna be parking involved and all that. But, yeah, they proposed it to the airport authority zoning board last night and or yesterday, I guess, probably during the day. But, yeah, 89 units could have an event space, rooftop bar overlooking the runway, and, you know, it'd be, addressing a long standing demand for travelers, for accommodations at the airport.
1:32 So that's kinda kinda cool for for those of you that have to travel to Traverse City to fly out, you know, which is a lot of, lot of places around here. I'm lucky I'm a mile and a half from the terminal, so not a big deal. But, yeah, I just thought that was extremely interesting. I'll have a link in the show notes over at cuptraverscity.com. And let's see. Oh, yeah. Last night you know, more aviation relay. This isn't an aviation show, but, I had the holiday party for the experimental aircraft association chapter two three four last night over at Sledders, and it was very well attended.
2:18 And, yeah, just really great to get together with a bunch of good people and and all that good stuff. Anyway, let's get to the weather for the weekend. Today's 40% chance of snow showers mainly after 10AM. Highs near thirty. Snow showers tonight, low around twelve. Southwest wind 10 to 15 miles per hour becoming west after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 30, a little breezy. And chance of participation precipitation is 90%. Looks like we could get even two inches of snow. Yeah. That's alright, I guess.
3:01 Saturday, we're gonna have more snow showers, mostly cloudy. Accumulation less than an inch. Well, that's good. Saturday night snow showers, another inch of snow. Sunday snow showers, accumulation less than an inch. Sunday night, 30% chance of snow showers after 1AM and mostly cloudy with lows around fifteen. Fifteen. Oh, boy. You get cold. Anyway, that is, all I really have for today. So so a little short and sweet one. Go check out that story about the hotel at Cherry Capital Airport, and I will catch you on Monday.
