Chance of snow, falling temperatures to greet Metro Detroit later this week

As temperatures continue to fall in Metro Detroit, the chance of rain, with a possibility of snow, is moving in, too! 

Temperatures around Southeast Michigan have been mostly above average in recent weeks. 

But this week, a trend of below-average temperatures will begin. The chances of rain and lake-effect snow showers will also be included in the forecast.

As a low-pressure system approaches, we can expect a chance of rain as early as Wednesday afternoon. Better chances for rain showers move in during the evening hours, with a brief break overnight. Scattered showers will continue into Thursday as colder air moves in.

Lake-effect snow will mix with rain showers in some northern counties of the region on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday.
