Southeast Michigan Could See 1-3 Inches Of Snow Tuesday Night

DETROIT — Parts of southeast Michigan could see up to 3 inches of snow Tuesday evening, according to a forecast from the National Weather Service in Detroit.

Most of southeast Michigan will see 1-2 inches of snow, according to the forecast. Areas closer to the Ohio border could see 3 inches. Snow accumulations will be mostly on grassy surfaces, but snow could lead to slippery road conditions on Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service reported.

Snow accumulation will begin on Tuesday evening, with most accumulation occurring overnight.

Freeze Warning

Southeast Michigan — like most of the state — will be under a freeze warning beginning at midnight Tuesday to 8 a.m. Thursday.

According to the National Weather Service, most of Michigan's Lower Peninsula will see sub-freezing temperatures in the 20s, although milder temperatures can be expected in the Detroit area.

The widespread freeze conditions will kill crops and other vegetation and could be cold enough to damage outdoor plumbing, according to the National Weather Service.

The service suggests that Michiganders in the areas affected by the warning take steps to protect outdoor plumbing, such as wrapping and draining pipes.
