DETROIT – Here is the Metro Detroit weather forecast update for Dec. 27, 2021, afternoon and evening.
More snow later Tuesday

Another system brings us some snow later Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Some models have a wintry mix with this, but given the temperature profile, I think most, if not all, of what we get will be snow. Wintry mix chances look better further south.
This snow will add up, with most of us getting around an inch. But some spots could be closer to 2 inches.
Chance for snow Thursday
It’s a glancing blow, but a few snow showers look possible Thursday, mainly in the South Zone.
A light accumulation is looking possible with this.
First storm of 2022
Long-range models don’t have a great handle on this, but the consensus is that we’ll get something Saturday night into Sunday.
Models have different solutions on the exact track, and as a result, have different precipitation types for us (snow/rain/mix).
There’s some fine tuning to be done here, but plan on more impactful weather Saturday night into Sunday.
Latest first snowfall
Wednesday (Dec. 29) is the anniversary of the latest first snowfall.
We’ve obviously beaten that this year.
Latest sunrise
Monday (Jan. 3) of next week is the latest sunrise that we see at Metro Airport.
