Temperatures overnight drop into the single digits, possibly below zero in outlying areas. We’re calling for a low of 5 at Detroit Metro Airport, which would make it the coldest of the season (current lowest temp: 8 degrees on Jan. 8).
Wind chills overnight could be as low as -10 degrees in spots.
Wind chills struggle to make it into the teens Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
Tracking chances for snow later this week
Snow is looking likely later Wednesday, with the best chances being in the North Zone.
We could see up to an inch north near I-69 and into the thumb, but most of us just pick up a few tenths.
While a few flakes may be around Thursday, little to no accumulation is expected from this.
Weekend weather (We could see some snow)
Saturday will be a close call for snowfall, but it looks like it will just miss us to our west.
A better chance for snow comes later Sunday into Monday of next week and accumulation is looking likely.
Normal high at 32 degrees
Today (Jan. 10), the normal high is down to 32 degrees
This is the coldest (whole number) high that we see in a calendar year, and it continues through Feb. 2.
Technically, the coldest normal high of the year is on Jan. 22, at 31.8 degrees. But for normal highs, the National Weather Service likes to round up.
Sunrise at 8 a.m.
On Thursday (Jan. 13), the sun will rise at 8 a.m.
The sun continues to rise earlier and earlier through mid-June.
