Detroit, MI – Bitter cold will grip southeast Michigan as an arctic front delivers the coldest temperatures of the season through Wednesday. Wind chills as low as -15°F to -20°F are expected, posing risks for frostbite and hypothermia.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit, Monday will see highs only reaching the low teens, with overnight lows plunging below zero. The coldest conditions are anticipated Tuesday morning, when wind chills could fall as low as -25°F in some areas, including along the I-94 corridor. Residents are advised to limit time outdoors and bundle up in layers to avoid exposure.
Lake effect snow showers are also possible on Monday, with accumulations staying light. However, roads may become slick during peak commuting hours. Motorists should exercise caution and check road conditions before heading out.
The extended forecast shows temperatures slowly climbing later this week. Monday night’s low of -5°F will give way to highs near 15°F by Wednesday, with a brief warming trend bringing highs near 26°F by Thursday. Despite this, another round of sub-zero wind chills may return by Friday morning.
As arctic air persists, officials urge residents to prepare for the extreme cold by checking on vulnerable neighbors, protecting exposed pipes, and keeping pets indoors.
