A Cold Snap Hits Metro Detroit Before a Rainy Week Ahead

The weekend in Metro Detroit started with a sharp cold snap. A freeze warning covered the whole Lower Peninsula, and overnight temperatures were expected to drop into the mid-20s to low 30s. In the city, the warning lasted from midnight to 8 a. m. Saturday. Clear skies overnight helped temperatures fall quickly, setting the stage for a chilly morning.By early Saturday, sunshine broke through, but clouds rolled back in by afternoon. A stray shower might pop up later, keeping highs around 50 degrees—well below the usual 65. Sunday brought a slight warm-up, starting in the mid-30s and reaching near 60 by afternoon. Mostly cloudy skies dominated, with scattered showers possible late in the day. Next week’s weather looked messy. Monday teased warmer air, climbing toward 70 degrees, but rain chances lingered. Tuesday brought more showers, with highs slipping back into the low to mid-60s. The unsettled pattern didn’t quit—rain kept showing up in forecasts for Wednesday and Thursday.
