Metro Detroit Weather: 2-3 Inches Of Snow Monday Afternoon: NWS

METRO DETROIT — The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook for most of southeastern Michigan from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, when 2-3 inches of fresh snow was expected to fall in the metro Detroit area.

After a dry cool start to Monday morning, the snow is expected to start falling in the metro Detroit area during the late morning hours as temperatures begin dropping into the mid 30s, the National Weather Service said.

Northern Oakland County and other areas north of metro Detroit could see 3-5 inches of fresh snow by Monday evening, as the National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Oakland, Macomb, St. Clair, Sanilac, and Lapeer counties all the way through the Thumb starting at noon Monday.

Although the snow may have a hard time sticking to roads and surfaces because of the recent warmer temperatures in the metro Detroit area, the National Weather Service warned it is possible, as wind chills will keep temperatures at or below freezing throughout the day.

The snow will start to wrap up during the evening hours, but spotty snow showers were still possible overnight into Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service said.

Any lingering snow showers will wrap up Tuesday morning before afternoon temperatures warm up to nearly 50 degrees with gusts of winds up to 29 miles per hour, the National Weather Service said.
