Metro Detroit weather: Scattered rain ahead of weekend snow chances

Highs in the 50s

DETROIT – Welcome to Tuesday, Motown.

Clouds are becoming lower and thicker, but the mercury is still climbing at least slightly above average levels. Scattered sprinkles and light rain have developed during the afternoon and evening.

Rain stops Tuesday night, and as clouds break apart, it becomes chillier.

Tuesday had gray skies, but temperatures did achieve above-average status. Many felt comfortable with a long sleeve shirt or a light jacket with highs in the mid- and upper 50s.

Sunset is at 5:17 p.m.

Tuesday evening will be cloudy, wet and cooler. Sprinkles and scattered light rain will expand, especially before and during dinner time. It becomes chillier with temps falling from the 50s to the 40s. Rain goes away by the time you join us for Local 4 News at 11.

Tuesday night becomes partly cloudy and chillier. The Metro Zone (Detroit and nearby cities) will have overnight lows in the mid-30s. The thermometer will have readings at freezing and in the low 30s by dawn. Fog has a chance of forming by morning, too.

Sunrise is at 7:18 a.m.
