NOON UPDATE
A round of snow advanced through our neighborhoods Tuesday morning bringing over an inch of snow across our neighborhoods late in the 6 AM hour and continuing into the 7 AM hour.
We will continue on through these afternoon hours with a chance to see some freezing drizzle over our neighborhoods until 3 PM. If we do see any of this mixed precipitation, we could see more slick spots on roadways. Make sure to stay weather aware when heading out the door.
We are continuing to track round two of winter weather with a secondary clipper system that still is looking to arrive this evening around 7 or 8 PM. This precipitation will start out as snow through 3 AM then mix into rainfall as strong flow out of the south brings warmer air into southern Michigan. Rain could continue along and south of I-96 through 7 AM before mixing back into snowfall as winds turn out of the north and aid in cooling our temps.
Renewed snowfall could continue through noon Wednesday with possible impacts to the Wednesday AM commute. Make sure to leave some extra time when heading out the door. Snow totals could be hindered by overnight rainfall but up to 4" of snowfall remains possible for northern neighborhoods and up to 2" of snow for southern neighborhoods.

The first round of winter weather has arrived in Michigan Tuesday morning. A moderate to heavy band of snowfall is making its way east through our neighborhoods through 9 AM this morning.
WATCH THE FULL FORECAST BELOW
This band could produce limited visibility and slick spots on roadways with 1-2" of snow possible for areas north of I-94 and up to an inch of snowfall for areas south of I-94. Once we pass the 9 AM hour, temps will continue to warm and hover around freezing with freezing drizzle possible across all of our neighborhoods from the late morning to early afternoon hours. This could renew poor road conditions with slick spots through the mid afternoon hours Tuesday. Make sure to leave some extra time when heading out on the roads.
For this first round of winter weather, our northern neighborhoods could see up to 2" of snowfall with southern neighborhoods seeing up to 1". All of our neighborhoods could see some light icing.
We will have a brief reprieve from the winter weather in the late afternoon to early evening hours. Our second clipper system arrives Tuesday evening as early as 7 PM in the form of snow in our southern neighborhoods tracking north. We will see continued snow through midnight.
Past midnight, with strong winds out of the south, warmer air will allow our winter precip to mix back into rainfall starting at around 3 AM Wednesday and lasting through around 7 AM Wednesday. Past 7 AM, we will see precip mix back into snowfall as we begin to cool now that the system will be exiting the region and winds shift out of the north.
All of our neighborhoods have a chance to see rainfall from 3 AM to 7 AM Wednesday. However, rainfall could hinder snowfall totals for this event. Right now we are looking at 2-4" of snow possible for northern neighborhoods with up to 2" of snow in southern neighborhoods. Slick spots remain possible for any traveling tonight and Wednesday morning. We could still see some changes to our snowfall forecast. Make sure to keep up with the latest forecast.
More clipper systems are expected as we continue through the back half of the week with snowfall possible for the rest of the 7-Day period including this weekend as temperatures fall gradually. Lows are expected to get back into the single digits late this weekend with highs in the upper teens Sunday.
