A winter weather advisory will be issued overnight for Macomb County and neighboring communities as a system is expected to dump up to 3 inches of snow on the area.
According to the National Weather Service in White Lake Township, total accumulations of 1-3 inches are in the forecast, with the highest amounts between Interstate 94 and Interstate 69.
The advisory will be in place from 3 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, the weather service said, with the peak snowfall intensity anticipated between 4-10 a.m.
“Plan on slippery road conditions,” the advisory stated Tuesday afternoon. “The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday morning commute.”
Snowfall totals are expected to reach 2-3 inches, according to the weather service. Accuweather says to expect between 1–2 inches.
In addition, westerly winds may gust to 30-40 mph Wednesday afternoon for a couple hours in the wake of a passing cold front. That will result in blowing and drifting snow, which will further complicate travel conditions.
Wednesday’s high will be near 33 degrees, falling to an overnight low around 20. Look for partly sunny skies, with a high around 26 for Thursday.
Meteorologist say arctic air returns Friday and remains across the area through the weekend. Potential for minimum wind chill to fall below -15 on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
