Detroit, MI – A brief window of icy conditions could impact the Thursday morning commute across southeast Michigan, with freezing drizzle creating slick spots on roads before temperatures rise later اليوم.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, a mix of light rain, freezing drizzle, and flurries is possible through the early morning hours Thursday. While ice accumulation is expected to remain light, even a thin glaze could make bridges, overpasses, and untreated roads hazardous through the morning commute.
Cities including Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Pontiac may see temperatures hovering between 31 and 38 degrees early, allowing for patchy icing. Travel along I-75, I-94, and I-696 could be impacted during peak commute hours.
Conditions improve later Thursday as highs climb into the 40s and low 50s, melting any lingering ice. Warmer air arrives Friday, with highs reaching between 48 and 63 degrees and a chance of rain showers developing.
The warming trend continues into the weekend, with highs pushing into the 60s by Sunday across much of southeast Michigan before cooler air returns early next week.
Drivers should use caution early Thursday and allow extra travel time. Additional updates may be issued if conditions worsen during the morning commute.
