Metro Detroit weather: Slick, snowy Saturday

Cold, wet Saturday across SE Michigan

DETROIT – Happy Saturday!

The last full weekend of fall looks and feels more like winter. Today will be slick with rain, snow, sleet and freezing rain possible. It will become a bit more snowy in the afternoon as precipitation becomes more scattered. Accumulations of any ice or snow will be relatively slight.

It will remain slippery tonight with sub-freezing conditions and clouds overhead. Tomorrow will be brighter and cold. It remains chilly but dry in the days leading up to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Wet weather today

Areas with raindrops and snowflakes will have wet and slick roads and sidewalks. Places with snow will have wet pavement that could become slushy. Up to an inch of snow will have fallen across most of Southeast Michigan, especially north of I-94 to the I-69 corridor, after this morning.

Saturday afternoon will be cold with snow showers. A deeper volume of cold air will dominate most of the region. Most neighborhoods north of I-94 have a chance of snow. A wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is possible south of I-94 to the Michigan-Ohio border. Another inch of snow and a tenth of an inch of ice is possible.

Afternoon temperatures will barely budge and will remain in the low 30s, close to 35 degrees.

Today’s sunset is at 5:02 p.m.
