DETROIT – Here is the Metro Detroit weather forecast update for Feb. 7, 2022, afternoon and evening.

Some snow rest of Monday

Recommended Videos



  • Some snow on the west side of the state Monday afternoon (associated with a weak cold front) will try to swing through for the rest of the day.
  • We’re not expecting much, but a light accumulation up to a half-inch will be possible.
  • Given the temperature profile of the lower atmosphere, we can’t rule out a little bit of drizzle/freezing drizzle, but for the most part, it should just be snowflakes.

Mid-week snow (maybe some rain)

  • This system has a few question marks surrounding it.
  • Given that highs will be above freezing, some rain/snow mix is looking possible later Wednesday. Most of what falls will probably be snow, but we’ll have to monitor this system closely.
  • At this point, any snow that adds up should be on the light side, a half-inch or less.

More impactful weather Friday

  • Another system comes by Friday, possibly into very early Saturday.
  • While there are still some question marks surrounding precipitation type, it’s safe to say this system will have a little more impact than the Wednesday system.
  • It still looks like most of what falls will be snow, but like the Wednesday system, a few raindrops may mix in as temperatures will, at times, be above freezing.
  • Models suggest a better chance for snow accumulation with this system, possibly up to an inch.

Anniversary of Michigan’s coldest temperature

  • The anniversary of the coldest temperature in Michigan’s history is Wednesday (Feb. 9).
  • Back in 1934, Vanderbilt, Michigan, recorded a temperature of minus-51 degrees.

Sunset at 6 p.m.

  • On Thursday (Feb. 10), the sun will set at 6 p.m.
  • This will be the first post-6 p.m. sunset since November.
