Here’s the snow forecast for Metro Detroit heading into next week

We only need about a tenth of an inch of snow to officially mark our first accumulating snowfall of the season, and it looks like we’ll reach that threshold, especially by Monday.

Late Sunday night, any lingering rain and snow showers will transition fully to snow showers across the entire region.

This change is driven by a northwest wind flow kicking in, which is typical for lake-effect snow events in this area.

These snow showers are expected to continue through Monday, bringing that first real taste of winter.

This lake-effect snow event won’t just bring snow — it will also usher in a reinforcing shot of colder air to start the week.

After highs in the mid to upper 40s on Friday, temperatures will drop into the upper 30s by Sunday and continue falling into the mid-30s by Monday.

This will be well below average for this time of year, signaling a chilly start to the week.

As we move into Tuesday and Wednesday, the forecast calls for some lingering cloud cover, but temperatures will begin to rebound.

Highs are expected to climb back to around 40 degrees on Tuesday and then into the upper 40s by Wednesday, bringing a bit of a warm-up after the cold snap.

By Thursday, another weather system will bring a chance of rain showers to the region.

High temperatures are forecast to remain in the mid-40s, keeping things relatively mild despite the chance of rain.

Looking ahead to the end of the week, drier weather and some sunshine are expected to return by Friday.

Temperatures should hold steady in the mid-40s, providing a more comfortable finish to the week.
