DETROIT (WWJ) - For all of those remarking how it doesn't quite feel like winter without snow -- prepare to eat your words.
Metro Detroit will see some some freezing rain and a few flurries throughout the week, but forecasters say the real action will happen this weekend when we could see roughly six inches of snow.
"It looks like Thursday, we've got our first of two snow events," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Dean DeVore. "The first one Thursday afternoon, Thursday night could give us a coating to an inch or so around Metro Detroit, more toward the south. The more prolific storm looks to be centered for us on Saturday, and that could bring several inches of snow."
Once the snow settles, it's going to get even more bitterly cold.
"We're going to get really into the deep freeze behind that storm Sunday and into Monday," DeVore said, adding that temperatures will drop into the teens and even single digits.
Meanwhile, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for all of Southeast Michigan, in effect 7 a.m. Tuesday until 10 a.m. Wednesday as the National Weather Service says freezing drizzle is expected make for dangerous conditons on some roads and freeways. (More on this here).
