Metro Detroit sees wintry mix ahead of Christmas

Rain, snow, sleet and freezing rain all in play

Metro Detroit weather forecast Dec. 23, 2024 -- 4 p.m. Update (WDIV)

DETROIT – After a bit of a wintry mess to start the week, things should improve as we head into Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

For the rest of tonight a few flakes are possible, but we should be mainly dry tonight with the clouds hanging tough. Temperatures overnight will be pretty steady around the freezing mark through daybreak Tuesday.

Tuesday

The precipitation comes to an end later tonight and we dry out as we progress towards daybreak Tuesday. Temperatures overnight stay steady near the freezing mark.

Christmas Eve should be a fairly quiet day with cloudy skies and highs in the middle 30s. This forecast can be copy and pasted for Christmas day as we’re expecting temperatures to be just a notch warmer.

Rest of the week

Later in the week is when the warmth really moves in. By the weekend highs are back closer to 50 degrees, around 15 degrees above where we should be this time of the year.

The trade-off with the warmth is the chance for rain returns. You’ll want to keep the umbrellas handy on both Saturday and Sunday as we’re expecting rounds of rain both days.
