(WWJ) If you're getting in the mood to see some snowflakes flying, you could get your wish by the end of the week.
The National Weather Service says a much colder air mass will move into Southeast Michigan Thursday (11/12) and hang around through the weekend.
With that, NWS forecasters say a chance for some melting snowflakes mixing with the rain begins Thursday and increases Friday as some lake effect show showers may develop.
Mild today with increasing cloud cover and rain chances this evening. Colder air arrives Thursday and continues into the weekend. This brings our first chance for snow this season as lake effect develops. #miwx https://t.co/KH3IWD6YOv

As for how much snow people in Southeast Michigan might realistically see with this, NWS said minor accumulations are possible, mainly on grassy/elevated surfaces
Sticking snow of any sort is more likely in the Thumb area, forecasters said, where the lake-effect bands are forecasted to develop.
AccuWeather most of the WWJ listening area is more likely to see plain rain on Thursday. But be prepared to bundle up for the weekend.
"And then the coldest day we've seen in quite some time on Friday; lots of clouds, a brisk wind, our high just 42," AccuWeather Meteorologist Joe Lundberg. "And not much better on Saturday. Even though they'll be some sun, it's still gonna be chilly, the high 45."
On Sunday, AccuWeather is calling for another cold one, with times of clouds and sun and a high of 48 degrees.
Low temperatures will be down in the 30s for the rest of the week.
