(CBS DETROIT) - A winter weather advisory has been issued for Southeast Michigan through 11 a.m. Tuesday. 

The track of this storm system will be from the southwest, moving northeast. 

The snow will start to move in around midnight tonight across our southern zones, then continue to march towards the thumb around 4 a.m.

We will see a changeover from snow to rain in the late morning and early afternoon, transitioning first to our southern zones and working northward.

After the widespread rain throughout the afternoon/evening, drier conditions are expected around 10 p.m.

Then, after midnight, the colder wrap-around moisture will give us some snow once again, and lake-effect snow showers will last throughout the day on Wednesday. 

On Tuesday and Wednesday, it will become windy, with wind gusts reaching over 30 mph. This will create the opportunity for power outages.

Traffic will be poor at times, and your NEXT Weather team will keep track of any flooding, visibility issues and traffic updates.

Stay with your NEXT Weather team for updates and school cancellations or delays that may come into our newsroom.
