UPDATE: Metro Detroit is experiencing ongoing snow flurries and unseasonably cold temperatures this morning, February 7, 2023. Authorities warn that light accumulations could create hazardous driving conditions, particularly with slick spots forming on the roads.
The region is currently under the influence of a broken “snow machine,” as a combination of dry air and colder conditions are producing light, fluffy snow. Flurries are expected to continue throughout the morning and early afternoon, with light accumulations accumulating once again.
Temperatures are starting off in the 20s, but don’t expect much relief today. Highs will remain in the 20s, keeping the chill firmly in place through Thursday. This cooler weather is well below average for this time of year and will continue before a brief return to seasonal low-30s on Friday.
IMPORTANT: The next chance for significant snow arrives Thursday night into Friday, with forecasts indicating a solid chance for an inch or more of accumulation. Residents should prepare for potentially disruptive winter weather.
As the forecast shifts, an influx of arctic air is expected just in time for Super Bowl weekend, bringing highs in the teens and dangerously low temperatures nearing zero.
Stay tuned for updates as conditions develop, and take caution when driving in the area. With winter weather impacting daily life, it’s crucial to stay informed and safe.
