Michigan – Headlights glow faintly along I-75 and I-94 as dense fog smothers downtown Detroit and the riverfront. Visibility has dropped to one-half mile at Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport, and temperatures hover at 33 degrees. That combination creates slick patches where moisture settles on cold pavement.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until noon. A 50% chance of rain develops after 1 p.m., with highs climbing to 42 degrees. East winds increase to 18 mph, adding a damp chill to the air. Drivers should use low beams and allow extra stopping distance through late morning.
Rain becomes more widespread tonight with an 80% chance and lows near 42. Roads stay wet into Friday morning. Temperatures briefly rise toward 48 early Friday, then fall into the lower 40s by afternoon as gusts reach 30 mph.
Saturday turns mostly cloudy with highs near 42. Cooler air settles in by evening. A 40% chance of snow develops late Saturday night as temperatures drop to 31 degrees. Even light accumulation could coat bridges and untreated roads.
Sunday keeps the winter theme going. A 50% chance of snow lingers with highs near 38, followed by another snow chance Sunday night as lows dip to 27. Watch for flash freezing after sunset where daytime melting refreezes.
Monday remains mostly cloudy near 34. By midweek, temperatures moderate into the 40s, and longer-range trends favor above-normal readings late next week. Early hints of spring warmth are building across southeast Michigan.
