NEXT Weather Forecast January 19, 2024 (Today)

(CBS DETROIT) - Bitterly cold temperatures return to Southeast Michigan this weekend. 

While actual high temperatures will be chilly, it's the wind chills that will feel below zero. Saturday will be the coldest of the two days as actual temperatures begin the day at 2 degrees, but it'll feel like 13 degrees below zero. 

Temps will warm into the upper teens Saturday afternoon, but it will still only feel like the single digits on the positive side. Besides the cold weather, we'll expect some lake-effect snow showers on Saturday morning.
