Dusting of snow before the coldest air of the season arrives

Metro Detroit sees a bit of snow today ahead of the coldest weather we've had this season. Alan Longstreet breaks down the next few days.

The coldest air of the season is on the way, but first we have to get through a little more snow. 

Coverage will be more chaotic than yesterday and totals will be lower. A dusting is the most likely outcome for most, with localized spots snagging closer to an inch. 

Temps fade today, so plan on single-digit wind chills.

The coldest air arrives Friday and Saturday, when wind chills as low as -25 degrees are a good bet. 

Michigan will be under a Cold Weather Advisory from 1 a.m. Friday until 1 a.m. Saturday due to this dangerous cold.

Sunday snow continues to look more likely. It is way too early for concrete totals, but "enough to shovel" is not a wild idea. The cold holds into next week, though not quite to the levels we’ll see Friday and Saturday.
