Snow Tuesday afternoon/evening

Precipitation is moving in from the south Tuesday afternoon, and continues through the evening.
Most of what falls will just be snow, but we can’t rule out a few raindrops mixing in near the Ohio state line.
Most of us will pick up 1-2 inches, with the higher amounts being further south.
Chance for snow Wednesday night/Thursday morning
The timing has been bumped up a bit with this next system, as now it’s looking to be more of an overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning event.
Light accumulation still looks possible, but will have little impact.
New year, new storm
Long-range models continue to be split on the solution for the New Year’s storm.
What we’re sure of right now: An impactful system will hit us New Year’s Day.
What we’re unsure of right now: Whether it’s going to be rain, snow or a mix of both. The track of the low will help determine the precipitation type that we see, and long-range models have been all over the place with the track, so there’s going to be fine tuning in the coming days.
At this point, though, plan on impactful weather Saturday.
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 Detroit Metro Airport.
