Most of southeast Michigan will see 3-5 inches of snow overnight, low of 27. 6+ inches are possible north of I-69.
Morning snow will quickly taper off Friday, it will be a cold, blustery day with blowing snow… high near 30.

The National Weather service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for St. Clair County. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Genesee, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties from 7 p.m. Thursday until noon Friday.
Ben Bailey says a large patch of moisture will push up from the central plains as rain during the day Thursday. But as temperatures fall overnight, the rain will turn into freezing rain and then snow as it heads toward metro Detroit.
