Michigan – A cold, gray skyline hangs over Detroit this morning as temperatures sit at 31 degrees and wind chills dip into the mid-20s. The air feels sharp despite calm visibility, and a brisk southwest breeze reminds commuters that late winter is not finished yet. Roads are dry for now, but a quick transition arrives by Saturday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, sunshine pushes highs near 52 degrees today with gusts up to 25 mph. That mild break fades Saturday as clouds increase and highs stall near 42. Snow becomes likely Saturday night, with a 60 percent chance and light accumulation possible by early Sunday.
Drivers along I-75, I-94 and the Lodge should prepare for slick spots by late Saturday night into early Sunday. Temperatures drop to around 21 degrees, then fall further to near 19 Sunday night. Any melting during the day could refreeze quickly after sunset. This is prime flash-freeze season across Southeast Michigan.
Sunday stays mostly sunny but cold, with highs near 29. Monday moderates slightly into the low 30s under mostly sunny skies. By Tuesday, a rain-snow mix develops with highs near 40, signaling a slow transition toward March.
Midweek brings a stronger warmup. Highs climb into the mid-40s Wednesday and could push into the 50s by Thursday. Longer-range trends show above-normal temperatures building next week, hinting at early Spring Warmth across Michigan.

Saturday: Partly sunny, high 42.
