Brrr, Metro Detroit: Winter, and Perhaps Snow, Blows in for the Weekend

METRO DETROIT, MI — About Friday’s forecast high around 70: You know it’s too good to last, right? Break out the hats, scarves and mittens. It’s going to feel like November this weekend, and overnight lows could fall into the 20s Sunday night.

Will it snow? There’s a chance of a rain-snow mix overnight Saturday, but it doesn’t look like Metro Detroit will be affected by the big winter storm that could dump a foot of snow on parts of Minnesota. Some areas of western Michigan could get a dusting.

Even without the snow, it’s going to feel like winter. Here’s a look at what’s ahead:
