4Warn Weather – We’ve got some wintry weather in store on this Tuesday. Chances of rain and snow showers move into the region as a disturbance moves through Metro Detroit today.

A rain/snow mix is expected in our southernmost and southwestern counties as early as 7 a.m. As we get closer to lunchtime, around noon, the rain and snow showers will become more widespread for those south of I-96.

The further north you go, the lower your chances of rain and snow showers. Most areas north of I-96 may stay dry during the day.

The fast-moving system should leave our area by around 4 p.m. No accumulation is expected Tuesday.

High temperatures will reach the the mid-30s by Tuesday afternoon.

Cloud cover will stick around overnight into Wednesday.

Sunshine, more snow/rain this week

Wednesday could be slightly cloudy, but we’ll likely see some sunshine, too. Highs will be in the upper 30s.

More isolated rain and snow showers are possible on Thursday. Highs will be in the 40s.

Skies will be cloudy on Friday. Highs will be in the lower 50s.

Wet weather this weekend

Looking ahead to the weekend: Rain showers will be possible for some on Saturday.

Expect the rain showers to overspread the region throughout the mid-morning hours and to stick around the rest of the day. High temperatures will be mild in the 50s.

It appears a low-pressure system will bring clouds and rain showers to our region on Sunday. Highs will be cooler, back in the 40s.

As the low-pressure system moves out of the region, it will usher in some colder air and change the rain showers over to snow showers and bring in some breezy winds as well. Highs will be in the upper 30s by Monday afternoon.
