DETROIT (WWJ) – A clipper storm dropping down from Canada is bringing wintry travel conditions to the Detroit area where accumulating snow is expected to coat roadways and reduce visibilities during Tuesday’s morning rush hour.
According to the National Weather Service, snow will move into Metro Detroit early Tuesday morning with bursts of moderate to heavy snow that will reduce visibility to one mile or less at times — with rapid fluctuations of visibility expected — and quickly accumulate snow.
Meteorologists say one to two inches of snow, with localized amounts up to three inches, is expected by 10 a.m., especially between the I-69 and I-94 corridor.
“It’s coming,” AccuWeather meteorologist Dean DeVore said. “If you’re going out I-94, it’s just past Chelsea towards Jackson where it’s really heavy. If you’re going out I-96, it’s right around the leading edge of it around Howell. If you’re going up I-75, the leading edge of it into Flint and some of those areas just to the south of Flint. So these are the areas where it’s already snowing.”
