Temps To Drop Sharply In Metro Detroit, Plus Slippery Snow On The Way
DETROIT (WWJ) - Baby, it's cold outside — and it's going to get even chillier as we head toward the weekend.
WWJ AccuWeather Meteorologist Dean Devore says a blast of cold air will hit metro Detroit Wednesday night into Thursday — and the possibly of significant snow will follow.
Thursday and Friday high temperatures will only hit the low 30s, with real feel temperatures only in the teens. Devore says there will be snow showers around both days.
"And it looks like it's even colder on Saturday, folks," Devore added, "with temperatures staying in the 20s; and there's the potential for some slippery snow, accumulating snow it looks like Saturday night into Sunday morning. We'll keep an eye on that."
Meantime, watch out for some wind gusts during a chilly Wednesday.
