Michigan — Snow squeaks under boots and coats stiffen in the cold as flakes drift steadily across southeast Michigan this morning. Headlights glow through the gray, and untreated roads turn slick fast.
Snow moves in early across the Detroit metro, with accumulations of 1 to 3 inches expected. According to the National Weather Service, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect through early afternoon. The heaviest snow falls during the morning commute, especially along I-94 and I-69, where visibility drops and braking distances increase.
Temperatures sit in the teens, and gusty winds push wind chills well below zero at times. Crews continue treating main roads, but side streets remain slippery. Slow down, leave extra space, and expect delays through midday.
Snow tapers this afternoon, but cold air never leaves. Skies turn partly cloudy tonight as temperatures fall sharply. Lows dip near zero, and exposed pipes and pets need protection.
Thursday offers a brief break from falling snow, though not from the cold. Highs struggle into the mid-20s under filtered sunshine. By Friday, another surge of Arctic air arrives. Daytime highs fall into the single digits, and wind chills drop dangerously low, especially during the morning and evening hours.
This weekend stays locked in deep winter. Saturday remains bitterly cold with highs near 8 degrees. Wind chills sink below minus 10 each morning. A light snow chance returns Sunday, which could worsen travel where snowpack remains.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook keeps Michigan below normal in temperature. Additional precipitation chances return next week as cold air holds firm across the Great Lakes.
