Metro Detroit weather: Snowflakes possible Friday evening, later next week

DETROIT – Here is the Metro Detroit weather forecast update for Feb. 4, 2022, afternoon and evening.

Snowflakes possible Friday evening

• There’s some snow falling in Wisconsin on Friday afternoon, associated with a weak disturbance.
• This will try to swing through later Friday evening, and as a result, some of us may see a few snowflakes fly.
• Little to no accumulation is expected with this, and the impact will be next to nothing.

Cold Friday night

• Temperatures overnight drop to lower single digits in the Metro Zone, and below zero in outlying areas.
• Thankfully, the winds will be pretty much calm, so there’s not much of a wind chill factor to speak of.

Snow chances next week

• No big snow storms are expected in the next week. In fact, accumulation chances in general aren’t great, either.
• There could be a few stray snowflakes Monday, but it’s Thursday into Friday that looks to be our next decent chance for any real snow.

Anniversary of Michigan’s coldest temperature

• The anniversary of the coldest temperature in Michigan’s history is Wednesday (Feb. 9).

Sunset at 6 p.m.
