Full Notification

The National Weather Service announced that a Winter Storm Warning will go into effect Monday night around 6 p.m. as we're looking at significant snowfall.

The warning spans most of southeast Michigan with most counties along the Indiana and Ohio borders, through Monroe, Washtenaw, Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, Genessee Counties, and all the way up into the Thumb.

6 p.m. is when the heavy snow will start tracking into the state, coming up from the South. 

The snow will be consistent through the rest of the evening AND overnight, with snowfall rates topping 2 inches per hour at times.

This heavy and wet snow is going to make driving hazardous throughout the night Monday and through Tuesday morning. The drive to work will be significantly impacted, especially with temperatures in the teens making treatments less effective.

The heaviest part of this system will be in the first six hours - between 6 p.m. and midnight. We expect between 4 and 5 inches of snow falling in those six hours. But it's not done.

The snow will continue until 6 a.m. on Tuesday when another 2 to 4 inches will fall. With combined to the first two inches we got Monday, our complete totals will be between 5 and 9 inches of snow on the ground.
