Frigid Friday starts a bitter weekend
Friday will include bitter wind chills that persist headed into the weekend.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - The cold is here! Wind chills drop 15 to 25 below zero early today and stay there through Saturday morning.
LIST: Detroit warming centers
That’s cold enough for frostbite on exposed skin in under 30 minutes, which is why we have a Cold Weather Advisory in place. That advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Saturday for Southeast Michigan.
VIEW: Friday school closures
A few snow showers could flare up at times and leave a quick coating in spots, but coverage looks lower than yesterday.

Weekend snow in Metro Detroit
A much better chance for snow shows up Sunday as that massive system brings crippling weather across a big swath of the country. For us, a glancing blow is in play.
First call snowfall: 3–6", with the highest totals south and lower amounts north.
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 yes, totals can shift. But it’s a good bet Sunday brings impactful snow.
Cold remains firmly in place
We go less cold next week, but it still ain’t warm.
