Light Snow Lingers in Metro Detroit as Freezing Drizzle Ices West Michigan, Late-Week Clipper in Forecast

Drivers face slick commutes now with a brief midweek lull before bitter weekend cold.

Overview

  • Light snow persisted across Metro Detroit Monday as a slow-moving trough tapped Great Lakes moisture, with another inch possible and isolated totals near 2 inches along parts of the I-69 corridor.
  • Extended snowfall and cold pavement could create slick spots for the Tuesday morning commute, especially on untreated roads and bridges.
  • Freezing drizzle produced an icy glaze across West Michigan under a winter weather advisory through 7 p.m. Monday, covering numerous counties from the lakeshore to Lansing.
  • Early-week snowfall in Southeast Michigan has been minimal for most areas, generally a dusting to under an inch before lake-enhanced bands added localized accumulation.
  • Forecasters expect the next system late Thursday into Friday, with a 60–70% chance of snow and a 50–70% probability of at least one inch, followed by a sharper weekend chill with highs in the teens and lows near zero.
