(FOX 2):In Southeast Michigan, New Year’s Eve is predicted to be chaotic due to the arrival of a band of winter weather on Tuesday morning.
The rain will continue into the evening, and when the temperature drops, it will turn to snow.
Wayne County is expected to receive about 1 inch of snow, while the majority of Washtenaw, Livingston, and Oakland counties can anticipate between 1 and 2 inches.
That means slushy accumulations, transport problems, and unpredictable weather on the year’s penultimate night.
Winter Weather Timeline
The National Weather Service predicts that Tuesday’s rain will increase starting at 7 a.m. and increasing in intensity throughout the morning and afternoon.
Only rain is anticipated until roughly 4 p.m.
Around 5 p.m., the precipitation will turn to snow and continue until Wednesday morning.
During that period, the temperature will drop from about 38 degrees on Tuesday at noon to freezing at night.
It will be around twenty-five degrees when the clock strikes midnight.
Where Southeast Michigan gets snow
Rain will fall on everyone, however because of temperature variations, snowfall will vary slightly more because it won’t stick.
A strip of metro Detroit from Adrian, Ann Arbor, and Howell to Bad Axe in the thumb is predicted by the NWS to receive up to two inches of snow.
The outside regions, which include Detroit and Monroe to the south and Saginaw and Bay City to the north, will only experience an inch or so.
As long as there aren’t any clouds in the sky, Tuesday night’s severe geomagnetic storm usually indicates a decent possibility of viewing the northern lights.
