DETROIT – Happy Saturday, Motown!
This weekend we will experience some sun mixed with clouds. You could see raindrops and snowflakes Saturday night. You’ll need a coat, even though there are few weather worries during the day. The better chance of showers arrives just before Thanksgiving.
Saturday morning will be mostly clear and cold. It will be somewhat frosty with a light wind. Temps start in the middle and upper 20s; below freezing. Families will need a little extra time prepping their vehicles before traveling to early morning services and events. Coats, scarves, gloves and hats will need to be worn going to and from activities like the Country Christmas Bazaar at Grace United Methodist Church in New Baltimore.
Sunrise is at 7:33 a.m. ET.
Saturday afternoon will be mostly to partly sunny and chilly. Highs will be near 40 degrees. Now that leaves are revealed or are free to fall after last week’s snow, residents can catch up on raking and other outdoor chores.
