METRO DETROIT (WXYZ) — With snowfall underway on Sunday morning, snow emergencies have been declared this weekend across metro Detroit.
Per Brett Kast with the 7 News Detroit weather team, snow showers began Sunday morning, moving in from the southwest and pushing northeast. Temperatures are expected to drop to the mid single digits Sunday morning, then warm up into the teens with wind chills still in the single digits or near zero. Travel could be difficult as low temps make road salt less effective. Snow will increase after 8 a.m. and continue through about 8 p.m. The steadiest snow and most accumulation will be in the afternoon. Snowfall totals will range from 1-3" north, to around 7" south of Detroit.
