Overview
- Forecasts call for a general 1–3 inches of snow Saturday, with locally higher totals in elevated or lake‑enhanced areas and coastal mixing limiting accumulation.
- Snow is expected to begin in the predawn to morning hours, become steadier through the afternoon, and taper by evening, posing hazards for both commutes.
- Metro Detroit issued a 4Warn Weather Alert due to existing snow, commute timing, and the risk of refreezing slush creating icy patches.
- Sunday looks mostly dry for many with only flurries as an offshore system stays east, before a sharper drop in temperatures on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
- An arctic surge late Monday into Tuesday is expected to deliver the coldest stretch of the season with single‑digit highs and sub‑zero wind chills, along with renewed lake‑effect or clipper snow.
