Metro Detroit is bracing for significant winter weather as a mix of rain and snow shifts back to predominantly snowy conditions. A Winter Weather Advisory has been expanded to include Livingston, Macomb, and Oakland Counties and will remain in effect until 4 PM today.
Weather Advisory Details
- Counties Affected: Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Genesee, Lapeer, Sanilac, St. Clair
- Duration: Until 4 PM, December 10, 2025
- Snow Accumulation: An additional 2 inches on top of 3-5 inches already recorded
Residents can expect heavier snowfall particularly in areas north of the I-69 corridor, where conditions will remain predominantly snowy throughout the day. The area is experiencing a low-pressure system that is introducing warmer air, leading to a mix of rain and snow in some southern areas. However, temperatures are forecast to drop, turning any rain back to snow.
Impact on Daily Life
The heavy, wet snow has created challenging conditions for commuters. School closures have been widespread, exceeding 400 across southeastern Michigan. The combination of snow accumulation and gusty winds of up to 30 MPH will complicate travel.
Extended Forecast
Tonight, expect mostly cloudy skies with temperatures dropping to a low of 19°F. The weather pattern suggests the possibility of isolated snow showers on Thursday, with high temperatures only reaching 29°F.
This wintry mix is expected to persist, with more snow chances returning by Friday and into Saturday. The highs will struggle to reach the mid-20s, while overnight lows could dip into the single digits. Wind chills are anticipated to also fall to zero or below.
Upcoming Weather Conditions
- Thursday: Cloudy, isolated snow showers possible; high of 29°F, low of 16°F
