4Warn Weather – Good Tuesday morning!
It’s a seasonal and sunny Tuesday ahead. A cold front will push through this morning, increasing our chances for a quick passing flurry.
Today’s sunrise is at 7:21 a.m.
Strong wind gusts around 40 mph will follow the front this morning. Wind will diminish quickly during the afternoon.
Clouds will give way to mostly sunny skies and temperatures will be seasonal in the upper 30s.
Tonight’s sunset is at 6:13 p.m.
Our attention turns to the Wednesday forecast, as an impactful winter storm system will move into Metro Detroit during the afternoon Wednesday and continue through midday Thursday.
Impactful winter storm
A winter storm watch has been issued for most of Metro Detroit from Wednesday afternoon through noon Thursday.
We’ll start the day Wednesday with a few light flurries in the morning, but the main event will arrive later in the day.
Rain, freezing rain, and snow are all possible Wednesday, depending on where you live. Those south of 1-94 will see more rain, those north of I-94 will see more freezing rain and sleet, and then those north of I-69 and into the Thumb will see more measurable snow.
It’s a very complex forecast, because the type of precipitation depends heavily on surface temperatures and where the rain/snow line sets up shop. The main concern is ice, but north of M-59, there could also be some heavier snow.
