DETROIT – Welcome to Saturday, Motown.
Snow cruises in ahead of cold air roaring back today. Tonight will be frigid, by March standards, with drier conditions. Sunday will be cold with more sunshine. Bright skies will remain early next week, and temperatures will remain far below average.
Today’s sunrise is at 7:26 a.m.
Saturday morning will be cold and snow. Temperatures start in the low and middle 30s. A stiff northwesterly breeze will drag wind chills to the teens and 20s. Grassy areas and patios become covered with snow. Streets and sidewalks become wet, slick and slushy.
Drivers must use caution while driving. It’s easy to get caught off guard in March with any snow on the pavement, especially on ramps, bridges or overpasses.
Saturday afternoon temps will be nearly 10 degrees below average. Highs will be near 40 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Winter coats, hats, scarves and gloves will be needed to stay warm.
Today’s sunset is at 7:52 p.m.
Saturday evening will be mostly cloudy and cold. Temperatures will fall through the 30s to the upper 20s by midnight.
