The winter weather advisory has been expanded to include more communities in Southeast Michigan. The advisory is in effect for Macomb, St. Clair, and Sanilac counties until 4 a.m. Monday as the region experiences its first days of snow this season.
Northerly winds will leave communities downwind of Lake Huron seeing snow bands. Those winds will gust in excess of 25 mph.
The lake-effect snow showers are expected to bring total accumulations of about two to four inches in some neighborhoods under the advisory.
Outside of the advisory, Metro Detroit could see a dusting to an inch of snow by Monday morning. Any snow or freezing of wet roads could make for slick conditions during the morning commute.
Drivers should plan for extra travel time Monday morning and dress warmly, as wind chills in the teens will make conditions feel even colder. Make sure sidewalks are salted, and have the kids bundle up for the first true taste of winter weather this season.
Temperatures will drop into the lower- to mid-20s overnight, and wind chills will fall into the teens by early morning. Detroit will be a few degrees warmer, but still quite chilly.
Monday will remain cold through the day with highs only reaching the lower- to mid-30s. There will be gradual clearing by the afternoon. For Tuesday, which is Veterans Day, expect mostly cloudy skies and highs in the upper-30s, with a gradual warm-up into the 40s and 50s for mid- to late week.
