Metro Detroit weather: Cold again with snow on the way, 2-4 inches possible by Friday morning

Wednesday highs in upper 20s

DETROIT – Good Wednesday afternoon!

We will have to find small victories in the weather today, as a stretch of warmer air in the 40s and 50s is gone for now.

We may only see high temps in the low 30s around Metro Detroit, but at least we won’t have that rain. Breezy morning winds are becoming a little less pesky as we go through the afternoon.

We will see some filtered sunshine today in the form of partly sunny skies. You can expect a decent amount of sun mixed with clouds later in the afternoon.

Temps will stick in the upper 20s to low 30s and it will be a dry day across the board. That’s right, a dry day here in Michigan, and most of Thursday will be dry, as well, before we get into more snow.

Today’s sunset is at 6:16 p.m.

Mostly dry Thursday before snow

Thursday will be a chilly one with some morning clearing and temperatures in low-to-mid teens as we get the day going. The best sky conditions of the day will be through the morning, with a nice helping of sunshine. Then, skies will become partly sunny through most of the mid and late afternoon.

Our highs will hover near 30 degrees. There is a snow maker on the way and that may throw a few flakes our way during the late afternoon and evening on Thursday.

Snow overnight Thursday

Most of the incoming snow will fall over Metro Detroit overnight Thursday and into early Friday morning. This will be a little more than a nuisance snow, with the possibility of 2-4 inches of snow on the ground before noon Friday.

This will make for a nasty morning drive on Friday, and something you should mentally plan for now because it will be snow covered, slow, slippery and still snowing, which will limit visibility.

Friday afternoon will be cloudy to mostly cloudy and drying out, or at least less snowy. The winds will be whipping.

Temperatures will be no better than the mid-to-upper 20s all over SE lower Michigan and Southern Ontario to end this week.

Weekend preview

The weekend will continue to be cooler than average with teens to low 30s Saturday under a nice mix of sun and clouds.

We’ll see low 20s to low 30s with a chance for light snow Sunday, but that doesn’t look to be much more than a dusting or a half inch at this point. Stay tuned!
