Michigan drivers and residents, brace for hazardous conditions as snow showers and intense squalls hit the I-94 corridor through the weekend. With temperatures dropping into the upper 20s, roadways, especially near Ann Arbor and Detroit, are becoming slick and potentially dangerous. Snow squalls are expected to bring brief periods of whiteout conditions, making visibility and driving extremely challenging.
Stay prepared and avoid unnecessary travel during peak snowfall times, as accumulations could reach up to half an inch in some areas by this evening. Motorists should remain alert for rapidly changing road conditions along major routes, including I-94. Black ice and packed snow will likely develop, especially on untreated roads, creating treacherous conditions.
For Saturday, residents can expect mostly cloudy skies with a high of 31°F and a chance of flurries throughout the day. West-southwest winds may gust up to 25 mph, adding to the chill. Snowfall will likely taper off by Sunday, but flurries and below-freezing temperatures will persist. Drivers should plan extra time for their commutes and prepare for reduced visibility in spots.
The extended forecast indicates a continued chance of snow into Monday night, with temperatures barely breaking the freezing mark. Local authorities urge everyone to stay informed by checking real-time weather updates and advisories. Monitor the latest alerts through the National Weather Service or your preferred weather app for updates on snow squalls and road safety.
Don’t let the wintry weather catch you off guard. Stay safe, plan ahead, and remember to drive with caution on icy roads this weekend!
