More Snow On the Way, National Weather Service Says

Snow has returned to Michigan, and some areas could see up to six inches of accumulation by Saturday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac.

The snow that has been falling throughout Metro Detroit today is expected to taper off in the early afternoon, with approximately an inch of accumulation.

Friday, another cold front will make its way to the area, bringing with it 1-5 inches of additional snowfall beginning Friday afternoon and continuing through Saturday morning.

The National Weather Service predicts snowfall totals will be highest south of the Interstate-69 corridor, though "total accumulations are still a little uncertain."

In a special weather statement, the weather service also warned that pockets of heavier snow could reduce visibility and advised residents to allow extra time for travel "as the roads will likely be snow-covered and slick in spots."

In addition to the snow, the cold front will bring icy temperatures to southeast Michigan. A low around 9 degrees is expected tonight, and the high for Friday will only climb to about 20 degrees. Saturday will be warmer with a high near 26, and the temperature Sunday could reach 35 degrees.
