For the weekend, Thompson said Metro Detroit is looking at more frigid air, with a high of 19 degrees on Saturday that will feel more like 0 degrees with the wind chill. "We could have some blowing snow at times on Saturday that could continue to cause some travel problems," he noted.

Sunday will be another chilly one, with a high of 25. Looking ahead to Monday. Thompson said temps will rise into the 30s when Metro Detroit is looking at some sleet and freezing rain that could switch over to plain rain Monday night into Tuesday, when the high is 38.
