(WWJ) Southeast Michigan is under a Winter Weather Advisory as a wintry mix — including freezing rain and sleet — is expected to impact the region later tonight and into the early hours of Sunday morning.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory in effect for the region, including all of metro Detroit, from 8 p.m. Saturday to 4 a.m. Sunday. Freezing rain is expected to accumulate to less than a tenth of an inch, creating slick road conditions in some areas.
The best chances of accumulation will occur along and south of I-69, NWS said.

The slight glaze can still cause messy travel conditions and drivers are strongly encouraged to remain cautious and drive slow — slippery spots are also possible along bridges and pathways.
WWJ AccuWeather Meteorologist Matt Benz says the region will reach a low of 29 degrees, "though temperatures will be rising to or just above freezing by daybreak".
Residents are urged to prepare for travel delays and possible power outages.
