Temperatures will gradually become more wintry as the day goes on, with a brief period of snow and gusty winds expected.
A radar forecast shows rainfall moving into southeast Michigan late this morning and into the afternoon.
As the rain moves in, it will likely change to snow. Expect around an inch of snow on the ground for a few hours this afternoon, especially from Kalamazoo to Flint to Saginaw and the Thumb.
However, since overnight temperatures were in the 50s, the snow likely won’t stick to the roads.
Winds have already shifted to coming from the north, except in Ann Arbor and Detroit. By noon, those cities will also see a north wind, which will cause temperatures to drop.
Temperatures will continue to fall through early afternoon, only rising a degree or two later. By this afternoon, most areas will see temperatures in the 30s, making it feel like winter again.
A wind advisory is in effect until 2 p.m. for the western shoreline counties, with gusts possibly reaching 50 mph through early afternoon.
Elsewhere, gusts could reach up to 35 mph, making for uncomfortable conditions.
Overall, it will feel like a return to winter, which might feel shocking after yesterday’s mild 60-degree weather.
This marks the beginning of a cold spell expected to last for the next seven to ten days.
