Metro Detroit weather: Several storms approaching ahead of new year

DETROIT – 2020 will end and 2021 will begin with an active weather pattern, with three storms forecasted over the next six days.
Storm #1 will kick off Sunday night. Rain will rapidly increase in coverage across the area, with warm air ahead of the storm actually boosting temperatures through the evening hours to near 40 degrees by late evening. South winds at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph or above will bring in that warmth.
The warmth will be short lived, though, as a cold front will cross the area between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. At that point, wind will shift to the southwest, the rain will end and temperatures will fall into the low to mid 30s by dawn Monday.

DETROIT – Aside from some flurries, Saturday was a benign weather day and Sunday looks to be the same then comes the first of two storms to end this insane year.
High pressure sliding eastward south of Michigan should turn winds more southwesterly (even southeasterly late Saturday night), so losing that Lake Michigan lake effect trajectory will allow for temporary, partial clearing. Lows will be around 20 degrees, but perhaps a few degrees cooler if we get more clearing than expected.
Saturday’s sunset was at 5:07 p.m. Sunday’s sunrise is at 8:01 a.m.
