Rain returns Wednesday night
A few sprinkles or light showers are possible Wednesday evening, closer to 10 p.m., but the bulk of the rain that we see arrives overnight and early Thanksgiving morning.
Thanksgiving Day
The best shot for rain is in the morning hours. Widespread rain tapers down by 11 a.m., but doesn’t completely end.
Any rain in the afternoon will be more spotty in nature and not as heavy, but there will be some to contend with during the day.
The parade/Turkey Trot/Detroit Lions tailgate will likely be wet. Plan on having rain gear!
It’s breezy Thursday, with winds gusting near 30 mph at times.
Black Friday
On the back side of the rain, colder air moves in late Thursday and Friday. This will change any rain over to snow. But we’re not expecting much.
Any snow that we see will likely be in the form of lake-effect bands, so not everyone will get in on the action.
Breezy again Friday, with winds again gusting near 30 mph.
Weekend update
Saturday looks alright -- chilly but dry.
Sunday brings the chance for snow. There might even be a few raindrops mixing in, mainly south, but most of what falls will be snow.
It’s too far out to talk specifics on accumulation, but it’s safe to say we’ll get less than an inch.
More snow/mix next week
Long-range models continue to show a number of disturbances next week, and given the temperature profile of the atmosphere, it’s looking like we could see a wintry mix Monday and then again Wednesday.
There’s a lot to iron out between now and then, but it’s safe to say next week will be a little more active.
