Two rounds of winter expected in SE Michigan on Tuesday and Wednesday

This week is an active one in Southeast Michigan with multiple rounds of snow and even rain on the way.

Our first clipper dives through the region on Tuesday morning, mainly after 5 a.m. through 9 a.m. Snowfall amounts will be light, somewhat like Sunday morning, and focused around 1 inch for most locations, especially north of intersection 96.

We then slowly warm through the day with our high temperatures not reached until after 11 p.m. Tuesday.

The second system arrives after 9 p.m. Tuesday as we continue to slowly warm.

Precipitation will begin as snow and will be more of the normal snow type, slowly turning into the slushy snowfall by Wednesday morning. Snow amounts vary greatly and are likely to be changed a bit as we get closer to Tuesday night.

Depending on the time we switch to rainfall, the snow amounts could end up at the bottom or top of our forecast ranges.

As temperatures fall through the afternoon on Wednesday, wet roads and slush will re-freeze that night, leading to some slick travel on untreated roads.
