The sun will retreat behind the clouds Friday as a cold front brings us accumulating snow to end the week.

When you wake up Thursday, windchills will be below zero in many cities around Metro Detroit.

A chilly Thursday with highs around 31, but wind chills remain in the teens through much of the day. It will be breezy again, with gusts over 25mph at times.

Under mostly clear to partly cloudy skies, temperatures will gradually fall into the 50s during the evening. This will mean great sky conditions for the chance of seeing the northern lights.

The weekend looks pretty good to start, but could be a little wet to finish.
