Metro Detroit weather: Chilly Wednesday with possible isolated shower later

Wednesday highs in mid 40s

DETROIT – Most of Metro Detroit will see beautiful sunshine Wednesday during the morning hours, and then some clouds filling in through the afternoon -- which will filter out some sunshine and hurt our chances to warm up.

Highs today will stay locked in the mid 40s with a lighter wind moving WNW at 5-10 mph.

Any lake enhanced showers should be confined to Western and Northern lower Michigan today, with only an isolated shower possible late this afternoon and/or evening. That shower could come as some light rain, snow or sleet. The best bet for a light wintry mix late today will be North of M-59, and West of I-275.

Today’s sunset is at 6:24 p.m.

A weak disturbance will cross Lake Huron Wednesday night, and it may cause a few snow showers to form overnight in our North Zone and into Southern Ontario. Temps will dive into the upper 20s to low 30s, so we could see a light coating of snow in a few isolated spots, but don’t count on much moisture making it closer to Downtown Detroit.

Chilly Thursday, warming up Friday

Thursday will have a chilly start and will struggle to warm up. Highs will be a few degrees warmer in the mid-to-upper 40s. Skies will be partly cloudy to partly sunny with lighter winds moving W at 5-10 mph.

Friday will bring a gradual warm up under mostly sunny skies. The day will start in the chilly 20s to low 30s, and then highs will eclipse 50 degrees as the winds take a warming turn, moving SSW at 5-10 mph.

Even warmer weekend

We keep building into the weekend with Saturday highs in the low-to-mid 50s, which will be decided by cloud cover forming in the afternoon.

The European computer model brings a weak disturbance over mainly our North Zone late on Saturday and early Sunday, which may mean a wintry mix while most of us are sleeping.

Sunday will clear out and most of Metro Detroit will rebound with highs around 60 degrees. We’ve got another shot at the 60s Monday and Tuesday of next week.
