DETROIT – Attention Metro Detroit residents, winter weather is making a bold return.
As we look ahead, snow is expected to begin trickling in tonight between 8 p.m. and midnight. Everyone should stay alert, especially those in areas north of I-69, including northern parts of Livingston, Oakland, and Macomb counties, where conditions might be trickier.
With a winter weather advisory in place, it’s time to plan ahead. Accumulations could range from a mere tenth of an inch to a couple of inches, all based on where those snow bands decide to settle.
The high winds we’re expecting, reaching up to 35 mph, may also reduce visibility, so proceed with care.
Road conditions and commuter advisories
Commuters, take note! Snow isn’t just a pretty sight; it often disrupts the roads. If you’re working late shifts or driving at night, be mindful of the changing conditions. The real challenge will be for those hitting the roads late at night. Our road crews are gearing up to treat both main and secondary roads between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m.
So, if you’re an early bird, expect a colder morning with wind chills dipping into the single digits. It’s advisable to allow extra travel time and stay tuned to Local 4 Plus for real-time updates on snow bands.
Cold snap and resources for warmth
Following the snow, frigid temperatures are set to continue, keeping things chilly with an afternoon high of around 31 degrees.
Conclusion
Although this weather blip might cause some temporary headaches, the weekend will see improvements. Keeping tuned to Local 4’s updates ensures that residents are informed and prepared.
