Sleet and freezing rain could create messy commute in Southeast Michigan later this week
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Though it will be a quiet day Tuesday, winter weather is in the forecast, and it could make for a messy drive Thursday morning.
Wednesday will start dry and stay that way for most of the day. That will change heading into the overnight hours.
Timeline:
Around 8 p.m., some snow moves in.
That snow is forecasted to transition to freezing rain around midnight and fall until about 7 a.m.
The area is expected to get around 1/10 of an inch of ice, with areas in the southern part of Southeast Michigan possibly receiving a bit more. Though 1/10 doesn't seem like a lot, it is enough to coat roads and create dangerous conditions. The Thursday morning commute is predicted to be slick.
Additionally, that ice will coat power lines, too, creating a chance for power outages.
What's next:
Temperature will have an impact on how much impact the ice has.
