Narrative:

We were issued a clearance to depart runway 4R/Y2 and turn to heading 360. In our turn to heading 360 we were given an RA to descend. We followed the guidance of the RA and were able to level off and begin a climb. We notified ATC and were told to climb to 2;000 MSL. I learned of the events that led to the RA after speaking with a supervisor from dtw tower. An aircraft was performing a missed approach from runway 4L. They announced the missed approach late (abeam taxiway V); but I was told that was not the cause of the event. The supervisor informed that in an event like this the controller is to focus on the departing aircraft and assign a heading for avoidance. This controller seemed to focus on the go-around and left us on a heading of 360 - turning/climbing into the oncoming traffic. I was told our separation at one point was 400 feet vertically and .14 nm laterally.I believe the 4L RVR was 1;800 feet with gusting wind and rain; providing a high probability for a missed approach. Assigning a turn that intersects the parallel map under these conditions may need to be looked at. I say that not knowing the full flow of traffic that ATC is dealing with under these conditions in dtw.
