Tracking flurries, winter temps in Metro Detroit: What to know this week
4Warn Weather – Our Tuesday begins cool and cloudy. Sustained winds are moving between 10-15 mph, and wind chill readings are about 10 degrees below the air temperature.
We’ll see this trend continue throughout the day.
Today’s sunrise is at 8:02 a.m.
Expect more clouds than sun today. I do anticipate a brief break in the clouds to give us some sunshine in the early afternoon, likely around 2 p.m., but that break will be quite brief. The clouds will return after that.
Temperatures will top out in the upper 30s, but will feel like the 20s with the wind chill. Wind gusts will likely peak around 20 mph out of the west-southwest.
Tonight’s sunset is at 5:12 p.m.
Possible snow showers this week, weekend
Isolated to scattered light snow showers will develop Wednesday afternoon and evening. We could receive a dusting of snow, but no major accumulation is expected.
A passing cold front will drop temperatures below average on Thursday, giving us sub-freezing highs. We’ll have a bit of clearing in the cloud cover.
We’ll bounce back above average on Friday and into the weekend. On Saturday, we’ll have another chance for a passing snow shower, particularly in the evening.

Elsewhere …
Nationally, a Pacific storm will bring moderate to locally heavy rainfall, coastal impacts, and mountain snow as it crosses the Western U.S. Tuesday through Thursday. Another low-pressure system will move across the South, increasing rain potential in the Gulf states.
Next week: Michigan game
For all my Michigan Football fans, here’s a quick look ahead to the forecast in Houston next Monday for the National Championship game. As of right now, there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Otherwise, it’ll be mostly cloudy and breezy with highs near 70 degrees.

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”

The Detroit Police Department is investigating after a 5-year-old child was shot in the arm near a park on Tuesday.
The shooting happened at about 8:50 p.m. near the Fargo-Oaklfield Playground on the city’s west side. Police Chief Todd Bettison says the child was in front of his home riding a bike with his father supervising at the time of the shooting.
Bettison says an individual at the park fired multiple shots, striking the child. He says the boy’s father reported hearing shots and the child falling from his bike.
Bettison says the child is expected to be OK.
Bettison says the person appears to have been firing shots randomly, which he calls “problematic.” He says a person of interest is described as possibly between 15 and 16 years old and wearing a mask. He says the person is known to frequent the area.
“When you fire a weapon, what goes up must go down,” Bettison said. “To parents and everyone, know where your kids are. Juveniles should not have guns, and whether you’re an adult or a child, you should not be firing a weapon inside of the city limits.”
Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield released a statement, saying in part, “By the grace of God, this young boy will recover from his injury and is on his way home from the hospital. With that said, this incident was senseless and could have had a much more tragic ending.
“Every child in Detroit deserves to feel safe riding their bike, playing outside, and simply being a child in their own neighborhood. We cannot accept a reality where our children are placed in harm’s way because someone chose to recklessly fire a gun.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-Speak Up.
