IN DETROIT. FOR NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. THINGS ARE QUIET OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. BUT CHANGES ARE
COMING TO YOUR FORECAST,
INCLUDING THE CHANCE OF A FEW
SNOWFLAKES TO START OFF THE
WEEK. IN FACT, IT COULD BE THE
FIRST SNOWFLAKES OF THE SEASON
FOR US HERE IN METRO DETROIT.
LET’S GET OVER TO BRIAN. NOW,
WITH A LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN
EXPECT. AND BRIAN SAY IT AIN’T
SNOW. I WISH I WAS GOING DOWN
THAT ROAD. SANDRA PART OF ME
THINKS IT’S A LITTLE TOO EARLY
FOR THIS, BUT YEAH, WE COULD BE
TALKING ABOUT OUR FIRST
SNOWFLAKES OF THE SEASON HEADING
OUR WAY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY ON MONDAY
MORNING. TONIGHT, WE’RE KEEPING
A LITTLE CLOUD. COVER UNDER THE

STARTED TO SLACK OFF AND THAT’S

WE WILL SEE SOME SUNSHINE. WE’LL
START OFF INTO THE THIRTIES
BEFORE WARMING INTO THE UPPER
FIFTIES TO LOWER SIXTIES
