Snow is not unusual for early spring in Southeast Michigan, but it feels out of place after such a mild winter. That snow will soon be gone, but not before another cold night.
Saturday Night
Saturday night will be cold with mostly clear skies. Temperatures will fall to the lower 20s. Puddles from melted snow will refreeze, which may lead to a few slick spots on your sidewalk. Northeasterly winds will be 5 to 10 mph.
Sunday
Expect another day of sunshine Sunday. It will be sunny in the morning as people head to services, but it will become partly cloudy in the afternoon. Afternoon temperatures will peak around 40 degrees. Winds will be out of the east-southeast at 5 to 10 mph.
Clouds will increase and skies will become mostly cloudy by Sunday night. Low will be in the lower 30s. Winds will be out of the east at 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.
Monday
It will be cloudy on Monday, but it will be milder. Any mostly-melted snowmen that survive the weekend will cease to exist. Highs will range from the mid 50s to 60 degrees in Southeast Michigan. There will be a southeasterly breeze at 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.
Tuesday
Plan on rain showers and wind all day Tuesday. Winds will be out of the south-southeast at 10 to 20 mph. The highest gusts will be around 30 mph. Highs will be in the mid 50s. Lows will be in the mid to upper 30s.
Wednesday
Morning rain showers will be possible Wednesday. Otherwise, skies will be mostly cloudy. A cooler air mass will suppress temperatures with highs in the upper 40s to 50 degrees. Lows will be around 30 degrees.

Friday
Friday, it will be partly cloudy with the chance of an isolated rain shower. Highs will be in the mid 50s. Lows will be in the lower to mid 30s.
