Metro Detroit's Weekend Weather: What to Expect

Metro Detroit is in for a breezy and chilly weekend. The weather will take a turn starting Saturday evening. Winds will start to blow from the west at 5-15 mph. As night falls, these winds will get stronger, reaching 15-20 mph with gusts up to the mid-20s. By Sunday, the winds will change direction, coming from the northwest at 15-20 mph with gusts near 30-35 mph. This shift is due to a low-pressure system that brought light snow showers. The result? Colder air moving in. Saturday night will see temperatures drop to the mid-20s. Even if roads are just wet, untreated surfaces might become slippery as temperatures fall. Sunday won't be much warmer, with highs only in the lower 30s. Wind chills will make it feel even colder, staying in the mid-teens in the morning and near 20 degrees in the afternoon.Snow is also in the forecast for Sunday, especially in the thumb region. There, a few inches of snow could accumulate, while most of Metro Detroit will see less than an inch. Looking ahead to Monday, the weather will improve with more sunshine and highs in the mid-30s. However, it will still be breezy, with southwest winds gusting up to 25 mph. Tuesday will be even milder, with highs in the low 40s. So, if you're in Metro Detroit, be prepared for a mix of wind, cold, and some snow this weekend. Dress warmly and stay safe on the roads!
