A chilly start to the workweek with morning lows in the teens Monday. Temperatures will climb to near freezing (32°) in the afternoon. Light snow moves in mid morning and continues through the early evening, with <1/2" of accumulation expected.

The weather gets more tricky Monday night into Tuesday. A storm will bring snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain across the region. Snow, sleet, and freezing rain will start just after midnight Monday night, lifting north across the region. Eventually warm air moves in near the state line, switching precipitation to rain. Through the Tuesday morning commute we'll be split north to south across Metro Detroit, with snow showers to the north, a mix of snow and freezing rain in the middle, and rain and freezing rain to the south. 2-4" of snow is possible north of a line from Pontiac to Port Huron. South of that line to I-94, 1-2" of snow is possible, plus 0.1" of ice. South of I-94 to the state line 0.1"-0.2" of ice is possible. Precipitation will taper off by Tuesday evening. Highs climb into the mid to upper 30s.

Another storm system will bring rain Wednesday night into Thursday. Highs will be in the low to mid 40s both days.

Drier weather moves in towards the weekend, with highs staying near 40°.
