Mild Christmas week in Metro Detroit

If you're hoping for a white Christmas, you may be disappointed to learn that a mild week is in the forecast.

It’ll be a mild week across Southeast Michigan, but don’t mistake that for warm. 

Snow will be hard to come by, with today being the main exception. 

A weak wave moves through this morning bringing light snow with rain trying to mix in. The primary window runs roughly 9 a.m. to noon. 

Any accumulation stays very minor, generally a dusting to a couple tenths of an inch at most.

A bit of spotty drizzle may develop this evening and overnight, but temps near or above freezing will limit impacts. At worst, a brief glaze is possible before melting quickly. Otherwise, we’re in good shape through Christmas.
