Wind Chill Advisory In Effect Thursday Morning Across Metro Detroit

DETROIT (WWJ) - If you have to go outside, you better bundle up!

A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect until 11 a.m. Thursday for the entire southeastern Michigan region.

Temperatures will barely break out of the single digits and forecasters say wind chill values will make it feel even colder -- more like 10 to 15 degrees below zero.

The dangerous wind chills can result in frostbite and lead to hypothermia if precautions aren't taken. If you must venture outside, make sure you wear a hat and gloves and try to cover any exposed skin.

Snow showers are expected to spread south through the area Thursday afternoon, and it could make for dangerous driving conditions. Forecasters say snow squalls may result in rapidly changing visibility and road conditions.

Here's the local forecast from the CBS Detroit weather team:

Thursday -- Mostly sunny. Bitterly cold with a passing flurry. High 15F. Low 6F.

Friday -- Cloudy. Snow likely overnight. High 22F. Low 20F.

Saturday -- Mix of rain and snow. Highs around 30F. Low 19F.

Sunday -- Times of sun and clouds. High 18F. Low -6F.

Monday -- Abundant sunshine but frigid. High 9F. Low -3F.
