Metro Detroit weather: One more quiet day before snowstorm drops several inches of snow on Southeast Michigan
Snow On The Way
Quiet Tuesday with accumulating snow Wednesday. Meteorologist Lori Pinson has your forecast.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - You may be thinking we are due for snow and you may be right. Snow totals for this month are as much as 2 inches below normal - but we'll add a few more this week.
For the season, it's even higher; more than 13 inches below the norm. We may rectify that this week with accumulating snow expected Wednesday and again on Saturday.
Let's start with today. A quiet Tuesday with a few snow showers and colder temperatures. Highs only in the 20s (29). Thankfully, the wind remains light, so no wind chills to discuss.
