DETROIT – Here is the Metro Detroit weather forecast update for Dec. 28, 2021, afternoon and evening.
Snow Tuesday afternoon/evening
Recommended Videos
- Precipitation is moving in from the south Tuesday afternoon, and continues through the evening.
- Most of what falls will just be snow, but we can’t rule out a few raindrops mixing in near the Ohio state line.
- Most of us will pick up 1-2 inches, with the higher amounts being further south.
Chance for snow Wednesday night/Thursday morning
- The timing has been bumped up a bit with this next system, as now it’s looking to be more of an overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning event.
- Light accumulation still looks possible, but will have little impact.
New year, new storm
- Long-range models continue to be split on the solution for the New Year’s storm.
- What we’re sure of right now: An impactful system will hit us New Year’s Day.
- What we’re unsure of right now: Whether it’s going to be rain, snow or a mix of both. The track of the low will help determine the precipitation type that we see, and long-range models have been all over the place with the track, so there’s going to be fine tuning in the coming days.
- At this point, though, plan on impactful weather Saturday.
Latest first snowfall
- Wednesday (Dec. 29) is the anniversary of the latest first snowfall.
- We’ve obviously beaten that this year.
Latest sunrise
- Monday (Jan. 3) of next week is the latest sunrise that we see at Detroit Metro Airport.
- Sunrise is at 8:02 a.m. that day.
