This week, clouds, snow showers, and chilly breezes are set to roll through the Motor City, according to the latest forecast. The mid-week forecast is calling for snow showers early Tuesday, which are expected to give way to rain as the day warms, with an 80% chance of these icy droplets descending on the city and the potential for around an inch of new snow to blanket the streets, the National Weather Service reports.
Temperatures will hover around freezing tonight dipping to around 31 degrees with a slightly vigorous south wind of 6 to 10 mph that won't quite let up, though the gusts should grow fiercer tomorrow reaching up to 18 mph.
Wednesday won't provide much sunshine, with the forecast predicting mostly cloudy skies and high temperatures struggling to hit the 40-degree mark, moreover a low of 34 degrees at night, assuredly reminding us that winter still has the stage. The following days will mirror this pattern, presenting mostly cloudy conditions with occasional breezes, while temperatures will oscillate slightly, reaching highs in the low 40s and plummeting to lows near the high 20s.
Forecast data suggests a slight reprieve by the weekend, with partly sunny skies and a high near 35 on Friday; the mercury will continue to drop come nightfall bottoming out at a frosty 23, while Saturday's outlook promises a bit more sun with a high again around the 33-degree mark Saturday, Sunday they say, shall follow suit, offering a bit more light but hardly a break from the nipping chill with mostly sunny conditions and highs lingering around the mid-30s.
