4Warn Weather – A rain and snow mix will impact Southeast Michigan Wednesday night and Thursday morning, including a minor accumulation in a few spots.
Widespread light rain will travel east into Metro Detroit Wednesday evening. Transitions to rain and snow showers will begin mainly after 10 p.m. as temperatures fall into the lower to mid-30s in most locations.
Snow accumulation will be a concern primarily north of Detroit, where temperatures will be colder.
Up to an inch of snow will be possible north of I-696. Snow accumulation will begin first on grassy surfaces and parked vehicles.
As temperatures drop at night, the snow will start to stick on bridges and elsewhere. Drive for the possibility of slick roads.
Overnight lows will be in the mid-30s south of M-59, including Birmingham, Warren, Westland, Southgate, Detroit, and Monroe.
Lows will fall to the lower 30s north of M-59, including in Shelby Township, Oxford, and Fenton.
Thursday
Rain and snow showers will continue in Southeast Michigan through Thursday morning, especially in the northern suburbs and Thumb.
There could be a few slick spots during the morning commute. Showers will taper off in the afternoon and leave behind cloudy skies.
A couple of evening sprinkles will be possible. Afternoon temperatures rise to the lower to mid-40s. Winds will be out of the east at 5 to 10 mph.
