With December fast approaching, Detroit is gearing up for its first winter storm of the season. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect from 3 PM today until 10 AM Sunday as snow and ice spread across the area. Drivers should prepare for challenging travel conditions along US-23 and I-94 as 4-6 inches of snow is expected, with localized accumulations potentially reaching 7 inches.
Weather models show snow will intensify between 7 PM and 2 AM, with rates of up to 1 inch per hour during the peak of the storm. Roads are likely to be slick, especially in the late evening hours as temperatures hover around 32°F, causing slippery conditions on untreated surfaces. Expect hazardous travel conditions, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and rural roads.
By Sunday morning, snow will taper off, but slick roads will persist into the day. Sunday night, expect a brief break before another round of snow may roll in on Monday. This early winter storm is a strong signal that December is bringing in the cold and snow, so now is the time to check your vehicle, grab your winter gear, and plan for delayed travel.
