Michigan – Light snow continues to drift across Detroit this morning, coating rooftops and leaving a thin glaze on side streets. Temperatures sit near 28 degrees, and visibility drops in occasional bursts. The morning commute feels slow and cautious as plows make repeated passes.

The National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac reports light snow will persist through today with additional accumulations between a half inch and 2 inches for most of southeast Michigan. Isolated spots could approach 3 inches by the end of the event. Roads remain mostly wet on main highways, but untreated surfaces are snow covered and slick.

Drivers along I-75, I-94, and I-96 should expect patchy slush and reduced visibility at times. Even minor accumulation can create slippery bridges and ramps. Allow extra stopping distance and plan for slower travel through midday. As temperatures hover below freezing tonight, any melting may refreeze, raising the risk of flash freezing on secondary roads.

Tuesday turns partly sunny with highs near 34 degrees, but another system arrives late Tuesday into Tuesday night. Widespread accumulating snow is likely, with 1 to 3 inches possible across much of southeast Michigan. That could create another round of travel headaches into Wednesday morning.

Wednesday stays mostly cloudy with highs in the mid-30s. A chance of snow lingers Thursday with highs near 31. By Friday and Saturday, sunshine returns and temperatures climb into the low to mid-40s. Longer-range trends hint at moderating temperatures into early March, offering gradual signs of spring.
