Winter blast from extreme cold to more snow heading to Metro Detroit -- What to know

4Warn Weather Alert issued for Friday and Saturday due to dangerous wind chills

DETROIT – Few snow showers are lingering this morning with slick roads possible. Flurries or light lake effect snow showers stick around off and on today and return this evening. The band that rolls through after sunset could bring an additional inch of accumulation. Temperatures stay pretty steady today with highs in the 20s.

We have issued a 4Warn Weather Alert for Friday and Saturday due to the extreme cold. The National Weather Service has issued a Cold Weather Advisory for 1 AM Friday to 10 AM Saturday for dangerously cold wind chills as low as 25 below zero. Even without the wind chill, temperatures on Saturday morning could be the coldest we have experienced in seven years. Make sure to bring pets inside and limit your time outside due to the risk of frostbite and hypothermia.

The weekend winter storm to our south could track a little farther north and clip a portion of Southeast Michigan. We are actively monitoring the track of that system. It’s premature to lock into snow totals, but snow will be likely Sunday. We remain well below average through the first half of next week.
