DETROIT – Good Monday morning!
It’s going to be a tough few days for us here in Metro Detroit, starting with some widely scattered showers as you head out this morning. Temperatures start in the lower 40s, so there is no threat of any snow, graupel or ice forming out there ... yet. But wind chills are in the lower 30s, so you will want to dress for that.
The rain showers are scattered, and will be slowing down the morning drive for some, depending where you’re located.
The radar on our free 4Warn weather app makes it easy for you, as it’s interactive and loops right where you are when you open it, showing you what’s coming your way.
Today’s sunrise is at 7:48 a.m.
Skies will stay mostly cloudy to overcast all day, with some scattered morning showers becoming a bit more organized this afternoon.
High temperatures will stay in the middle to upper 40s around Metro Detroit with a few neighborhoods possibly landing closer to 50 degrees. The winds will be whipping W at 10-20 mph, gusting to 20-30 mph at times, keeping wind chills in the middle and upper 30s later this afternoon.
There is a closed low pressure system with us the next few days, which simply means a stalled-out weather maker will bring showers and cooler air into our area for the next few days.
We cannot rule out an isolated rumble of thunder later this afternoon with any of these more intense showers. We also cannot rule out some snow or graupel (frozen raindrops, not freezing rain) later on Monday evening and Monday night.
Tonight’s sunset is at 6:48 p.m.
Wet weather continues
Scattered rain and snow showers will continue Monday night into Tuesday morning without any real accumulating snow to worry about. Just don’t be too surprised if you see some.
Temperatures will dip down into the middle 30s early Tuesday and then struggle to warm up. Highs will stay in the middle 40s with scattered afternoon rain showers and winds WNW 10-20 gusting 25-33mph at times.
Some light wintry mix late Tuesday into Wednesday morning, but most of the moisture is starting to move out of here as we head into Hump Day. But we could see that mix through 2-3am and then just mostly cloudy skies with lows in the middle to upper 30s. Skies stay mostly cloudy Wednesday with a cool breeze WNW 10-20 gusting 20-25mph at times with highs in the middle to upper 40s feeling a bit cooler.
Thursday morning will present the coldest air of this cool stretch as we bottom out in the lower 30s which means some of our suburbs could see some upper 20s temporarily. Thursday also looks like the first time we will see high temps heading into the lower 50s all week with mostly cloudy skies, dry conditions, and that stubborn breeze SW 10-15 gusting 20-25mph. Friday will be the brightest of this work and school week ahead with middle to upper 30s early and highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Believe it or not, we actually may hit 70 degrees with tons of sunshine both weekend days ahead. Stay tuned.
