Michigan — A gray ceiling hangs over Detroit this morning, and the air feels raw as temperatures sit near 33 degrees. Light snow showers may drift across parts of the metro today, mainly north of I-69, though little accumulation is expected for most neighborhoods.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, additional snow develops Sunday with around 1 inch possible by Sunday night. Highs will struggle to rise above freezing Sunday, topping out near 34 degrees. Roads could turn slushy at times, especially on untreated side streets.
Snow chances linger Sunday night into early Monday before tapering. Highs Monday hover near 29 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. North winds increase, with gusts up to 28 mph possible. That breeze will make it feel colder than the thermometer shows.
The sharpest chill arrives Tuesday morning. Lows dip into the mid-teens, and wind chills could fall into the single digits. Bundle up for the commute and watch for flash freezing where melting snow refreezes on bridges and ramps.
Another round of snow is possible Tuesday before precipitation transitions to rain by Wednesday afternoon as highs rebound into the low 40s. That changeover could create slick conditions during the transition.
Long-range trends favor moderating temperatures late next week, with highs climbing back into the 40s and hints of early spring warmth returning to southeast Michigan.
