Metro Detroit weather: Arctic air returns for Super Bowl weekend

Saturday highs to hover around 20 degrees

DETROITWelcome to Saturday, Motown.

Another blast of arctic air is arriving today. We will have a little sunshine, but will still need to bundle up. It becomes more frigid tonight and Sunday morning. A few snowflakes may be around Sunday afternoon. Very cold weather will stick around into early next week, but higher temperatures are on the way for the second half of next week.

Today’s sunrise is at 7:35 a.m.

Slippery spots are definitely possible with the colder air that rushed in Friday night. A new layer of snow formed a new layer of ice after freezing overnight.

Temperatures nosedive into the teens by daybreak, and they’ll stay there for the rest of the day.
