Metro Detroit weather: Chilly, gray Saturday with rain chance

Saturday highs in low 40s

DETROITWelcome to Saturday, Motown.

We’ve had gray skies since the start of today, and this afternoon will be no different. A few sprinkles are possible, but with yesterday’s tree lighting ceremony in Downtown Detroit and today’s Santa Parade in Mt. Clemens, many families are in the holiday spirit.

Saturday afternoon will be overcast and chilly. Highs will be in the low 40s. It will be mostly dry as families get ready for Thanksgiving. There is only a slight chance of a sprinkle or two before sunset Saturday evening.

Dinnertime temps will be in the upper 30s under cloudy skies. Widely scattered sprinkles are still possible.

Today’s sunset is at 5:07 p.m.

Saturday night will be mostly cloudy and chilly. Overnight lows will be in the low and mid 30s.

Wet Sunday

Chilly rain showers will arrive Sunday under overcast skies. Afternoon temperatures will be near 45°F. Some of those raindrops will mix with snowflakes by Sunday night.
