Weather: Accumulating snow turns to dangerously cold wind chills on Friday in Metro Detroit
After most of the region saw a little bit of snow overnight Thursday night into early Friday morning, we are going to keep the snow in the forecast.
Our next snowmaker moves through the region throughout the day on Friday, thanks to a cold front moving from the northwest down to the south and east throughout the day. Snow is expected throughout the morning, changing to snow showers or snow squalls Friday afternoon into early Friday evening. High temperature is warming into the load of mid 30s by the time we get to Friday afternoon.
Once this front boundary moves through the region by Friday afternoon, we will clear the clouds out overnight Friday night and early on Saturday morning, and that will usher in another Arctic blast with another round of dangerously cold wind chills overnight Friday night through the first part of the day on Saturday.
