Rain returns Wednesday night
- A few sprinkles or light showers are possible Wednesday evening, closer to 10 p.m., but the bulk of the rain that we see arrives overnight and early Thanksgiving morning.
Thanksgiving Day
- The best shot for rain is in the morning hours. Widespread rain tapers down by 11 a.m., but doesn’t completely end.
- Any rain in the afternoon will be more spotty in nature and not as heavy, but there will be some to contend with during the day.
- The parade/Turkey Trot/Detroit Lions tailgate will likely be wet. Plan on having rain gear!
- It’s breezy Thursday, with winds gusting near 30 mph at times.
Black Friday
- On the back side of the rain, colder air moves in late Thursday and Friday. This will change any rain over to snow. But we’re not expecting much.
- Any snow that we see will likely be in the form of lake-effect bands, so not everyone will get in on the action.
- Breezy again Friday, with winds again gusting near 30 mph.
Weekend update
- Saturday looks alright -- chilly but dry.
- Sunday brings the chance for snow. There might even be a few raindrops mixing in, mainly south, but most of what falls will be snow.
- It’s too far out to talk specifics on accumulation, but it’s safe to say we’ll get less than an inch.
More snow/mix next week
- Long-range models continue to show a number of disturbances next week, and given the temperature profile of the atmosphere, it’s looking like we could see a wintry mix Monday and then again Wednesday.
- There’s a lot to iron out between now and then, but it’s safe to say next week will be a little more active.
