Detroit, Michigan – A band of accumulating snow is moving through southeast Michigan this evening, with totals ranging from one-half inch to 2 inches, creating slick travel along I-75 and I-94.
According to the US National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, snowfall will continue through the evening hours, with the highest amounts expected across the Saginaw Valley and the northern Thumb. Most locations across metro Detroit, Flint, and Pontiac are forecast to receive between 0.5 and 2 inches.
The steady snowfall may reduce visibility at times and create slushy or snow-covered roadways, particularly during the evening commute. Travel impacts are possible along I-75 from Detroit through Saginaw, US-23 near Flint, and I-94 toward Port Huron.
Forecasters also note a chance of additional light snow showers Wednesday morning, though any new accumulation is expected to remain minor. Seasonal temperatures are forecast through the midweek period, with highs generally in the upper 20s to mid-30s.
While totals are not expected to be significant, untreated roads and bridges may become slippery overnight as temperatures remain near or below freezing.
The timing of this system may affect students, shift workers, and evening commuters across the region.
Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time and remain alert for changing road conditions through tonight and into Wednesday morning.
