Metro Detroit weather update: Nov. 16, 2021 afternoon, evening forecast
Rain on a window.DETROIT – Here is the Metro Detroit weather forecast update for Nov. 16, 2021 afternoon and evening.
Local forecast
Rain returns Wednesday
Clouds are on the increase later Tuesday night, ahead of rain that moves in overnight and most of Wednesday.
Most of what falls Wednesday will be scattered and light to moderate rain, but in the evening, there could be some heavier downpours.
Thursday, we should dry out as this system exits, but a few lingering drops/flakes can’t be completely ruled out.
It’s also going to be breezy both Wednesday and Thursday.
Brief warm-up
The strength of this system is going to usher in some milder air, helping us get into the lower 60s for highs Wednesday.
It won’t last, though. We’re back to the 40s for the rest of the week and this weekend.
Rain/snow return next week
Another system looks to bring us some rain late Sunday into Monday.
On the back side of this system, we’ll likely see the rain change over to snow later Monday into Tuesday.
Other headlines
Partial lunar eclipse
We’ll have to see how cloud cover shakes out, but we have the chance to see a partial lunar eclipse overnight Thursday into Friday morning.
It starts at 1:02 a.m., is maximized at 4:02 a.m. and ends at 7:03 a.m. (times for the airport in Romulus).
While the moon won’t be 100% covered in the earth’s shadow, it’ll be 97% -- so it should look pretty red.
Forecast: I’m still fairly confident that clouds will break for us to see this.
