4Warn Weather – Good Thursday morning!
We’re waking up to icy conditions across Southeast Michigan. Although the ice storm has pushed out of the area, we could still see some lingering patches of freezing drizzle or sleet, especially north of I-69 through the mid- to late morning.
Today’s sunrise is at 7:18 a.m.
Otherwise, we will see a quick warm up this afternoon with highs in the 40s.
As warmer air rolls into the area over the cool, icy surface, it is likely we will see patchy fog develop midday. Visibility will be the lowest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. That fog will lift by late afternoon and early evening, as winds pick up ahead of a cold front.
While wind gusts look to stay under advisory criteria, around 30-40 mph, there remains a concern for additional power outages in areas that may still have ice on trees and power lines. We’re tracking power outages in SE Michigan right here.
Tonight’s sunset is at 6:16 p.m.
Colder Friday
A much colder airmass will settle over the area tonight into Friday, dipping low temperatures both tonight and Friday night into to the low to mid-teens. Friday highs will likely struggle to hit 30.
Milder, sunny weekend
Temperatures will be moderate this weekend and turn more seasonal, topping out on either side of 40 degrees.
Expect more sunshine to return through the weekend.
