Rain chances kick off week in Metro Detroit: What to expect and when

Rain showers Monday afternoon, Tuesday

4Warn WeatherWelcome to Monday!

After waking up to a few isolated light showers, conditions remain mostly cloudy and chilly. Extensive cloud cover has allowed temperatures to stay at or above freezing so far, so the freeze warning for this morning was cancelled early.

Temperatures will trend below average all week.

Today will be partly sunny, but isolated-to-scattered light showers will return to Metro Detroit this afternoon.

Tonight’s sunset is at 8:25 p.m.

As temperatures drop off to either side of 30 degrees, another freeze warning may be issued for tonight. The main negating factor will be the amount of cloud cover we see overnight.

More rain chances Tuesday

A better chance of showers will develop Tuesday afternoon. With temperatures around 50 degrees, this precipitation should remain generally light rain.

Overnight lows will drop into the 30s through Thursday morning, so it is best to protect any sensitive outdoor plants the next few nights.

Highs will stay in the 50s this week, gradually warming a degree or two each day. Expect more sunshine by Thursday.

Temperatures will be closer to average late this week and into the weekend. As of right now, it looks like another system will bring rain showers to the area this weekend.
