Metro Detroit weather: Afternoon rain and snow

High only near 40 degrees

DETROITWednesday afternoon continues to be chilly with more clouds coming into play.

On and off rain and snow showers are possible as temperatures struggle to get to 40 degrees. In our South Zone, rain showers are more likely. Indoor activities and lessons are the way to go if everyone wants to stay warm.

Wednesday evening has a chance of rain showers across most of the region. Our North Zone remains the exception with rain and snow showers. Temps will be in the middle and upper 30s.

Sunset is at 8:23 p.m.

Wednesday night becomes colder. Overnight lows will be in the low and middle 30s. North of M-59/Hall Road (our North Zone), where it will be colder, rain and snow showers persist. Any accumulation will be light, but roads (especially ramps, bridges and overpasses) will be harder to navigate. The rest of of the region will have chilly rain showers.

Thursday will be wet and chilly. The best chance of rain is during the morning and midday. Rain and snow are possible in northern Oakland County, northern Macomb County and northward. Rain showers become more scattered by mid- to late-afternoon and evening. Under overcast skies, highs will only be near 50 degrees.

Friday, we get a much needed break from slippery weather and cold weather. It will still be cool but milder with partly to mostly sunny skies and afternoon temps near 55 degrees.

The chance of rain returns Saturday and Sunday due to a storm system gliding through the Ohio Valley. Our South Zone has a better chance of showers, for now. Each day, highs will be in the low and mid 50s.
