Winter storm watch in effect from Wednesday night through Thursday afternoon.

Monday: Snow showers with a high near 24 degrees and a low of about 14 degrees.

A strong cold front will track through southeast MI after midnight, sending temperatures below freezing by 7 a.m.

Doing that Friday morning in Metro Detroit means you’ll experience rapidly dropping temperatures and see rain give way to sleet and snow.

Snow and sleet accumulations are expected to be between four and eight inches, more in the snowbelt. Some snow accumulation is likely through the weekend, and by Sunday, highs will fall below freezing once again.

Tonight: Clouds will arrive with with a light round of freezing rain showers and freezing drizzle.

Thursday will bring a return to sunny and dry weather along with much more typical temperatures for January.

They said accumulating ice before the start of snow could limit the ability of highway crews to improve driving conditions, particularly in the early hours of the event. Risky travel conditions will develop along area roadways.

Saturday Night: Any left over sleet and snow will end Saturday evening into Saturday Night.

This all comes after near record highs on Thursday.

At the onset, snow likely melts when reaching the ground due to our recent warm spell.

Tuesday: Mostly cloudy with a high near 21 degrees and a low of about 9 degrees. Since the change to snow happens later in the Des Moines and Ames communities, snowfall amounts will be less. Wind chills are expected to be below freezing and speeds are expected to be between 10-25 miles per hour. For those with temperamental auto batteries, it’s a reminder the overnight lows may again range from 14 below zero to 20 below.
