Metro Detroit Weather Update: Stormy Outlook for November 17, 2025
Metro Detroit, MI – The 4Warn Weather Team is diligently monitoring the skies over Metro Detroit this morning as a robust weather system inches closer to Southeast Michigan. As of 6 a.m., forecasts indicate that residents should prepare for a day of fluctuating temperatures and the potential for severe weather.
Following an unseasonably warm stretch of autumn weather, today we may see temperatures drop significantly throughout the day. Morning temperatures are hovering around 50 degrees, but by the afternoon, expect a sharp decline, with highs only reaching the mid-30s. This dramatic change sets the stage for an active weather day, characterized by increasing winds and precipitation.
The biggest concern is the likelihood of rain transitioning into snow as colder air sweeps in. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from noon through the evening, cautioning that a wintry mix could create hazardous travel conditions across many areas of Metro Detroit. Drivers are advised to stay alert and adjust travel plans accordingly.
In addition to the risky road conditions, gusts between 25 to 30 mph may result in isolated power outages as the storm moves through. The team warns residents to secure outdoor items that could be displaced by strong winds.
Looking ahead, the storm is forecasted to taper off by late evening, with a clearer, frosty night on the horizon. While the mix of rain and snow may cause some disruption today, meteorologists assure that conditions will stabilize into the weekend, with temperatures returning closer to seasonal norms.
