Cool Friday before Metro Detroit temps rise into 40s, 50s for weekend, next week

Chilly temps, wind stick around Friday

4Warn WeatherHappy Friday!

We’ll be cooling off today. We’re starting with a breezy morning, but expect the winds to diminish throughout the day.

Today’s sunrise is at 7:36 a.m.

Friday will be mostly cloudy with highs in the upper 30s. There is a slight chance for some light afternoon snow showers.

Wind chill readings will be in the 20s today. Actual temperatures will dip into the 20s for lows tonight under partly cloudy skies.

Tonight’s sunset is at 5:59 p.m.

Warmer, sunnier weekend

A pattern shift ensues by Saturday. High pressure will build in for the weekend, keeping conditions quiet and mostly sunny on Saturday and Sunday.

Warmer air will build in on Sunday. Westerly winds will aid in boosting temperatures into the mid-to-upper 40s by the second half of the weekend.

Even warmer next week

The next weak clipper system will track across northern Ontario on Monday, dragging a dry cold front across our area. Only expect an increase in cloud cover from this system. Temperatures will stay well above average next week, in the 40s to around 50 degrees.

Precipitation chances hold off until Wednesday or so, when models show the next low-pressure system moving into the area. Nationally, the strong storm that passed here yesterday will continue to bring heavy snow, a wintry mix and gusty winds into the Northeastern U.S. today.

Heavy rain is possible over the Southeast states into part of the mid-Atlantic this weekend. Some snow may be possible in the southern Appalachians.
