A winter weather advisory is in effect across Southeastern Michigan with freezing rain expected on Friday, leading to icy roads and travel disruptions. The weather will briefly warm up on Sunday with rain, but colder temperatures and snow are forecasted for the start of the new week, including snow showers and snow squalls, as a low-pressure system moves through.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Southeastern Michigan due to forecasted freezing rain and ice accumulation on Friday, which may impact travel during the holiday weekend, with expected ice buildup of 0.05 to 0.10 inches and temperatures around freezing.
The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for Monday morning in several southeastern Michigan counties, including Saginaw, Shiawassee, Genesee, Lapeer, Livingston, Oakland, Washtenaw, and Lenawee. Temperatures are expected to be as low as 30 degrees, which could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. It is advised to take steps to protect tender plants from the cold and wrap, drain, or allow outdoor plumbing to drip slowly to prevent freezing and possible bursting of pipes.
