Frigid Friday starts a bitter weekend

Friday will include bitter wind chills that persist headed into the weekend.

The Brief

    • Snow is expected Sunday in Southeast Michigan.
    • Current models place most areas in a 3-6-inch range.
    • Several factors could change this forecast a bit, but it likely wouldn't be a major change in numbers.

DETROIT (FOX 2) - If the cold this weekend isn't enough of a reminder that it is winter, snow is also in the Metro Detroit weather forecast.

Snow is coming Sunday.

According to the current outlook, most of Southeast Michigan falls into a range of 3-6 inches, with northern areas forecasted to receive less and areas south, near Monroe, expected to reach more. 

Two big factors still in play: snow ratios (how much snow we can wring out of the moisture) and the exact track of the low. 

So, totals can shift, but it’s a good bet Sunday brings impactful snow.

Weekend cold

Wind chills drop 15 to 25 below zero on Friday and stay there through Saturday morning. 

LIST: Detroit warming centers

Southeast Michigan remains under a Cold Weather Advisory until 10 a.m. Saturday due to this.
