Metro Detroit Forecast: Warming up this week, plus travel troubles possible Friday

Temperatures will hold in the low to mid 30s overnight.

Tuesday will be mostly cloudy and mild. High temperatures climb into the mid 40s in the afternoon. It will be a bit breezy with westerly winds 10-20 mph.

Clouds skies continue Wednesday as a storm system develops to our southwest. A few flurries are possible during the day, with rain showers expected overnight. Highs temperatures peak in the upper 30s. Rain will wrap up early Thursday morning, with mostly cloudy skies continuing the rest of the day. Highs will be near 40°.

Some concern now exists for Friday and the potential travel impacts a winter storm may bring. This storm was originally expected to move through earlier and stay farther north, which would have brought just rain across Metro Detroit. This storm has now slowed down and is tracking farther south, which increases the chance for snow and freezing rain, in addition to the rain across the area. Icy conditions are possible as well as the potentially for accumulating snow, especially north. Keep an eye on the forecast for Friday as we continue to iron out the timing and details of the system.
