Accumulating snow in Metro Detroit: How much will fall on Friday

More snow expected in northern counties

4Warn Weather – A winter weather advisory is in effect Friday for all of Southeast Michigan, except Monroe and Lenawee counties, until midnight. However, the advisories in Wayne and Washtenaw counties are set to lift earlier at 2 p.m.

We’re tracking accumulating snow moving into the region starting this morning. Here’s a look at how much snowfall each area will see and when.

  • The Thumb to M-59: Snow will peak at two times, from 6 a.m.-10 a.m., and from 4 p.m.-10 p.m. Upward of 4 inches of accumulation is possible.
  • M-59 to I-94: Expect 1-3 inches of accumulation with two peak times, 6 a.m.-10 a.m., and again in the evening.
  • I-94 corridor and south: Snow will peak at two times, from 6 a.m.-10 a.m., and from 8 p.m.-midnight. 1-2 inches of snow are possible near I-94. Expect less than an inch of accumulation for those more south, closer to the state line.

Tonight’s sunset is at 7:48 p.m.

We will be on either side of 40 degrees this weekend with a mix of sun and clouds. Plan for breezy conditions on Saturday. Warmer temperatures and rain showers return for early next week.

Nationally, back-to-back storm systems will continue to bring snow to the northern Plains and upper Midwest over the next several days. Winter storm warnings go into effect for the Northeast Friday evening through Saturday. Heavy snow will spread into eastern Montana late Saturday, then expand into the northern Plains and upper Midwest by Sunday night, producing significant snowfall accumulations.
