Detroit, MI – A winter storm system will bring widespread snowfall to southeast Michigan starting Thursday evening and continuing into Friday night. Accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are expected across most areas, with localized totals reaching 4 inches or more, particularly in the Thumb region.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), snow will begin after 7 p.m. tonight and intensify overnight, creating hazardous travel conditions. Areas along I-69 and US-23 could see the heaviest impacts, with slick roads and reduced visibility. Drivers are urged to exercise caution, plan extra travel time, and stay updated on road conditions.
The snow is expected to taper off by Friday afternoon, but additional flurries may persist into Friday evening. A sharp drop in temperatures Friday night will bring lows around 19°F, leading to freezing conditions and potential black ice. North-northwest winds will also increase, with gusts up to 18 mph, adding to the cold and creating drifting snow in rural areas.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday will bring sunshine but cold temperatures, with highs near 25°F. Sunday offers slightly warmer conditions, with a high of 33°F under mostly sunny skies. Another chance of snow arrives Monday, as a new system develops across the region.
