It’s falling. It’s back.
You guessed it. Snow. After having 70-degree weather during the final week of winter, the snow has lost its appeal among some fans of spring.
The rain and snow showers will impact Southeast Michigan into the night. Most of the activity will wind down around midnight, but a few flurries and sprinkles will linger. Minor accumulation will be possible on grassy surfaces, but mainly in northern suburbs and the Thumb. A dusting will be possible north of M-59 and up to an inch in the Thumb.
As precipitation winds down, it will remain windy. Southerly winds will shift and come out of the west-southwest at 15 to 20 mph. Gusts will be up to 30 mph. Lows will be in the mid 30s, except for temperatures in the lower 30s in the Thumb and upper 30s in Downtown Detroit and Downriver. Road temperatures are expected to remain above freezing in Metro Detroit, but wet pavement can be slippery.
Monday
After a break in precipitation overnight, rain and snow showers will resume Monday morning. The chance of showers will continue into the evening. Otherwise, it will be mostly cloudy and breezy. Winds will be out of the west-southwest at 15 to 25 mph with gusts as high as 40 mph. Afternoon temperatures will reach the lower 40s, which is several degrees cooler than normal.
A Gale Warning has been issued for the Southeast Michigan waters of Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair from early Monday morning until 8 p.m.
A Small Craft Advisory covers the Michigan waters of Lake Erie until 10 p.m. Monday.
The chance of showers will end Monday evening and leave behind mostly cloudy skies.
Nighttime temperatures will fall to around 30 degrees.
Tuesday
Tuesday will bring a mix of clouds and sunshine to start the day, but clouds will increase. Highs will be in the mid 40s. Under mostly cloudy skies, lows will be in the upper 20s.
Wednesday
Temperatures will be almost the same on Wednesday, but it will be partly cloudy.
Thursday and Friday
Temperatures will rise into the mid 50s on both Thursday and Friday, but the difference will be sky conditions. Metro Detroit’s skies will be partly cloudy on Thursday, and rain will develop on Friday.
Next Weekend
Expect more rain for Saturday and Sunday as temperatures push into the 50s and 60s.
Metro Detroit’s average highs are around 50 degrees this week.
