Rainy Tuesday with rising temperatures coming to Metro Detroit

Rain Moving In

Not as cold of a start, 30s instead of teens with an afternoon high of 48. This means rain instead of snow beginning this morning and extending through Wednesday. Meteorologist Lori Pinson has your forecast.

DETROIT (FOX 2) – There’s a bit of good news to start the day – we got above freezing before all this precipitation rolled in.

Temperatures are 20 degrees warmer Tuesday as opposed to Monday’s start, meaning we’ll start above freezing.

This is significant as the rain arrived this morning. Our afternoon high should exceed normal expectations. We could hit 48 degrees – above the average high of 41 – but nowhere close to last year’s record warmth of 74!

Back to the rain. It arrived around 7:30 Tuesday morning and had some impact on the commute. Some cities, specifically Commerce and White Lake, saw a little bit of mixing to start but it all turned to rain by 8 a.m.

Rain will become widespread and heavy around 9 p.m. and extending overnight.

For Wednesday, periods of rain will prevail with an uptick in temperatures. Look for readings in the 50s, well above the norm, but it’s temporary. Colder air filtering in Wednesday night will set the stage for light snow Thursday morning.

Overnight lows stay below freezing toward the end of the week. Watching for the potential of more snow by the weekend.

Detroit Zoo welcomes Nguvu the giraffe from Utah

The Detroit Zoo welcomed a new giraffe, Nguvu, to the herd, officials announced on Wednesday.

Officials say 1-year-old Nguvu came from Utah’s Hogle Zoo as part of the zoo’s “long-term plan for the giraffe herd.”

“This move was recommended by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Giraffe Species Survival Plan, which promotes the health, genetic diversity and overall sustainability of giraffe populations in zoos – and we’re eager to support Nguvu as he adjusts to his new home,” the Detroit Zoo says.

Officials say Nguvu has been working with the animal care teams for several days and will be introduced to the herd soon.

According to Utah’s Hogle Zoo, Nguvu was born in February 2025. His name means “strength” in Swahili.

Lions-Patriots scheduled for Week 10 in Munich

The Detroit Lions are taking part in the NFL’s International series for the first time since 2015 by hosting the AFC Champion New England Patriots Week 10 in Munich at Allianz Arena on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 9:30 a.m. ET (3:30 p.m. local time in Germany) on FOX.

The Patriots represented the AFC in the Super Bowl this past February after a 14-3 season and their 22nd AFC East title. They beat the Los Angeles Chargers (16-3), Houston Texans (28-16) and Denver Broncos (10-7) in the playoffs to earn their 12th Super Bowl appearance, which they lost to Seattle (29-13).

Patriots QB Drake Maye is one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL entering his third season and New England’s defense is coming off a 2025 season in which they ranked fourth in points allowed (18.8) and eighth in total defense (295.2).

This is the second of Detroit’s 2026 matchups to be announced early (Week 2 TNF in Buffalo). The rest of the Lions schedule will be revealed Thursday evening.
