Metro Detroit Weather: Rain returns, plus a chance for snow on Thanksgiving

Posted
and last updated

Our next storm system arrives Monday, with rain chances increasing throughout the day. High temperatures will be relatively warm with highs in the low 50s. A few rain showers will linger into Tuesday morning, before partly sunny skies return late in the day. High temperatures drop to near 40° with a strong westerly wind 15-25 mph.

A storm system will develop to our southwest Wednesday. Latest models are split in keeping the storm to our south or bringing the northern portion into southeast Michigan. If the storm takes a more northerly track, this would mean a snow/ wintry mix across Metro Detroit starting Wednesday night and continuing through Thanksgiving Day. This would have some major impacts on travel for the holiday, so be prepared for potential impacts if flying or staying local.

Northwesterly winds pick up behind this storm, triggering lake-effect snow showers starting Thursday night. We'll keep a chance for the snow showers through the weekend and winds persist over the relatively warm lake waters. Temperatures will be chilly with lows in the low to mid 20s and highs in the low to mid 30s.

Tonight: Cloudy with a rain chance late. Lows in the upper 30s, near 40°. Winds: SE 5 mph.
Monday: Cloudy with periods of rain showers. Highs near 50°. Winds: SSE 5-10 mph.
Tuesday: Rain chance early, then partly sunny. Highs in the low 40s. Winds: W 15-25 mph.
