Metro Detroit weather: Calm day before snow returns – how much to expect

High winds and snow showers are predicted. Wednesday to Thursday

With a lot going on in between, we are caught between yesterday’s 50 degree weather and Thursday’s 22 degree weather!

Tuesday is a transition day, with more temperate temperatures and quieter conditions. In certain areas, particularly those to the south (Monroe and Lenawee Counties), we may have a little drizzle during the morning hours. However, we don’t anticipate further rain. Under overcast skies, temperatures will rise to 44 degrees this afternoon.

Another Canadian clipper system is scheduled to pass across our area on Wednesday. This indicates that temperatures will drop, winds will increase, and snow will begin to fall. While some snowflakes may start to fall early on Wednesday, the afternoon, evening, and late hours are predicted to see the most activity. Wednesday’s highs will be close to 36 degrees, and through the afternoon, winds will increase to about 30 miles per hour. Naturally, this implies that the wind chill will persist throughout the day, making it feel far colder.

This one is difficult to predict because it is only linked to snow squalls from the western part of the state. Your totals will be much lower if you are not under a snow squall, but we can provide an approximate range of 1-2 inches for Southeast Michigan. As an alternative, you might see totals pile up a little quicker if you are in one of the snow squalls. This means that, locally, some places might get closer to 3 inches, but this is more likely to happen in locations near Lansing.

Thursday’s maximum temperatures will only reach 22, but with the wind howling, it will feel more like single digits. Snow flurries will persist throughout the day. Winter weather, hello again!
