Light snow continues Monday in Metro Detroit before sunshine, warmer temps return

Very light snow accumulation possible by midnight Monday

4Warn Weather – Good Monday morning!

After some snow for some of us on Sunday, there are still snow chances in our forecast on this Monday.

We’ll see an area of low pressure, and a cold front, move through today. As those close in on the region, we are going to be looking at scattered snow showers for everyone throughout the day.

There is the chance that we could see a few inches of snow accumulation today, but we are not anticipating much. The best chance for snow showers is during the day, but any lingering showers will taper off in the evening and end for everyone around midnight.

Most of the Metro Detroit area should receive between less than an inch to just over 2 inches of snow.

The best advice is: If you do run into some of the snow accumulation, give yourself some extra time to get to your destination today. The roads will more than likely be snow covered during parts of the day.

High temperatures will be in the middle 30s by this afternoon.

It will be cloudy overnight tonight into Tuesday, with temps dropping to the lower 20s. It will be breezy behind the cold front with winds gusting as high as 25 mph.

Sunny Tuesday

Heading into Tuesday, high-pressure will begin to build into the region. We’ll see cloud cover in the morning, but we’ll break into some sunshine in the late morning and into the afternoon.

High temperatures will remain on the cold side, in the middle 30s by Tuesday afternoon. Winds will be gusting is high at 25 mph throughout the day.

Rain coming Thursday, Friday

As we work into our Thursday, expect the clouds to move back into the region ahead of our next low-pressure system.

Rain showers will move in during the late afternoon and into the evening hours. High temperatures will get even warmer, heading for the upper 40s and lower 50s by Thursday afternoon.

As that low pressure system works off to the east, rain showers will remain in the forecast on Friday. Breezy winds will also be sticking around throughout the day Friday.

High temperatures will be around that 50-degree mark by Friday afternoon.

Snow possible this weekend

Once that low pressure system pulls off to the east, we will see colder air across the region for the first half of next weekend. Snow shower chances also stick around behind that cold front on Saturday.
