Most of the rain will exit the region by noon as a cold front sweeps across the state. A couple of showers will linger into the early afternoon. Otherwise, it will be cloudy with highs around 50 degrees. Metro Detroit’s average high for Dec. 9 is 39 degrees. Southwesterly winds will be 8 to 16 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.

The dry weather could come to an end with the chance of rain and snow showers late Tuesday night. Lows will be in the mid 20s to 30 degrees.

Wednesday

The chance for precipitation will increase for Wednesday. Snow showers will return with highs in the mid 30s. Lows will be in the lower to mid 20s.

Snow showers on Wednesday night could result in slippery road conditions. Lows in the teens will make salt less effective.
