Here is the weather forecast for Metro Detroit.

DETROIT – Today’s high temperature of 44 degrees (6.5 degrees Celsius) sure felt good, right? You see, a cold front crossed the area around that time and, within two-to-three hours, temperatures had plummeted into the mid 30s (1 to 2 degrees Celsius), and that’s pretty much where we’ve been all day. Lows in the low 20s (-6 degrees Celsius), with a west wind at 10 to 15 mph. Temperatures may initially drop into the mid-to-upper 20s (-3 to -2 degrees Celsius), but then rise to near 30 degrees (-1 degrees Celsius) by dawn Wednesday. Lows near 30 degrees (-1 degrees Celsius).

DETROIT – Snow showers linger before warmer air rescues us for the second half of the week. We’ll keep the unseasonably mild air for the weekend, but it doesn’t look pretty otherwise. We might be able to start dry on Saturday, but rain will arrive during the second half of the day, and stay on-and-off through Sunday. Turkey Day WeekWe’ll start Thanksgiving week dry but see temperatures return to normal for the first half of the week. Early indications show Thanksgiving Thursday will be dry but a bit milder with highs in the mid 50s.
