As snow showers are expected to hit Metro Detroit Wednesday night into Thursday, more snowfall is expected this weekend.
Beginning Wednesday night, overnight lows will drop into the upper 20s, so there could be slick spots on the roads.
Snowfall is likely to continue throughout much of the day Thursday, and most places could see 1-2 inches of snow through late Thursday night.
The areas that see the highest snowfall totals will be those hit by repeated rounds of snow showers coming off the lake over the next 24-36 hours.
With those overnight lows in the upper 20s and continued snow, slick roads could be an issue for most of the day Thursday.
High temperatures will only make it to the low or mid-30s by the afternoon. Factor in the gust winds, and it’ll feel much colder than the actual air temperature on Thanksgiving.
Expect the snow to wind down late Thursday night heading into another cold overnight, with lows dropping into the 20s for the whole area.
Saturday snow chances
The weather pattern gets active once again heading into the weekend.
Saturday will start cloudy before snow moves back into the area in the afternoon and evening.
There’s a chance of snow accumulation looking ahead to the start of the weekend on Saturday, but it’s still too early to pin down where and how much snow we might see. The latest data is trending toward accumulation, though.
Snow chances Sunday
Snow will stick around into the end of the weekend on Sunday.
As temperatures warm into the mid-30s, there’s a chance snow could change over to a rain-snow mix before returning to snow showers or a wintry mix on Sunday night.
We will continue to fine-tune the weekend forecast as it draws closer.
Snow in next week’s forecast
Snow showers remain in the forecast for the start of next week, on Monday. It’s still a bit too far out to get into the details of this snow chance.
High temperatures stay below freezing in the lower 30s before conditions dry out while remaining cloudy on Tuesday. Expect even colder temperatures, with highs in the upper 20s by Tuesday.
