Metro Detroit weather update: Dec. 21, 2021 afternoon, evening forecast
The Michigan weather radar on Dec. 21, 2021. (WDIV)DETROIT – Here is the Metro Detroit weather forecast update for Dec. 21, 2021, afternoon and evening.
Local forecast
Few snowflakes Tuesday evening
Most of the snow stays to our north Tuesday evening, but a few snow showers will try to clip us.
We’re not expecting much in the way of accumulation, but we can’t rule out a couple tenths of an inch, especially as you go further north in our area.
Some light snow later Thursday
Models continue to show better agreement in the chance for a few snow showers later Thursday.
Accumulation is possible, especially north of M-59, but models are not in good agreement as to how much we’ll get.
Christmas Eve showers
The next system brings us rain Friday.
Along with the rain, winds will be picking up both Friday and Saturday. Gusts will be as high as 40 mph.
It’s going to be warm during this period, with highs in the mid-40s on Friday and Saturday.
Christmas Day questions
One thing is certain about Christmas Day: it’ll be breezy. Winds will gust over 40 mph.
Long-range models do not handle later Saturday well, as some bring a few snowflakes, and some suggest rain.
We’ll have to really fine tune this over the coming days.
