Metro Detroit under wind advisory before rain, snow return Thursday

Gusts could reach 50 mph Wednesday

4Warn WeatherA wind advisory is in effect from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday. Wind gusts of 45-50 mph will peak in the late morning to early afternoon.

It’s going to be a warm and windy Wednesday.

Drier air will build in by early afternoon. We can anticipate clouds to hang around most of the day, but a little sunshine could peek through in our south zone.

The headline with this system is that winds will be gusty -- 45 to 50 mph gusts peak late this morning into the early afternoon. A wind advisory has been issued for Southeast Michigan until 4 p.m. on Wednesday.

Tonight’s sunset is at 6:06 p.m.

Rain, snow on Thursday

Another low pressure system will bring a period of precipitation starting Thursday afternoon. This will largely move in as rain or freezing drizzle before a steady transition to a rain/snow mix, and then light snow as colder air overspreads the area.

With warmer surface temperatures, we aren’t anticipating much accumulation. Any precipitation that lingers into Friday would be light and spotty. Otherwise, clouds will likely give way to sunshine Friday, but it will be blustery.

After a sharp cool down from late Thursday into Friday with highs only in the 20s on Friday (and low temperatures on either side of 20 degrees both Thursday and Friday nights), expect temperatures to rebound back into the 40s this coming weekend and possibly around 50 degrees on President’s Day.
