Detroit, MI – A weekend winter system is expected to bring several inches of accumulating snow to Southeast Michigan beginning late Saturday afternoon, potentially affecting travel across the region through early Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, snow is forecast to develop between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday, continuing steadily through Saturday night before tapering off Sunday morning. Forecasters currently expect 3 to 6 inches of total accumulation, though the exact amounts may shift depending on the storm’s track and speed.
