Metro Detroit forecast for the week of December 18, 2023
(CBS DETROIT) - The week starts windy, cold and wet. After a cold front moves through in the very early hours on Monday morning, scattered showers start to transition into snow.
It will be a blustery day, with wind gusts over 30 miles per hour that continue through the overnight hours into Tuesday morning.
We could see about 1/2" of accumulation, mostly on grassy and elevated surfaces by the end of the day, with up to 2 inches in the thumb.
The cold air sticks around for Tuesday, then high-pressure returns to the region on Wednesday, and a warming trend begins.
We are expecting above-average temperatures for the first day of winter, with the warming trend continuing through Christmas Day.
