Very little, if any, accumulation expected with rain, snow mix
Most areas were expected to see an inch or less of accumulation through Monday morning, although a few inches of snow were possible closer to Interstate 80 and in the mountains.
Devore said while Metro Detroit is expected to get only another 2 to 4 inches of snow (beginning after around 10 p.m.) forecasters are anxious more about when it’s coming than how much we’ll get.
AccuWeather says there’s a 40 percent chance of snow starting around 1 p.m.
It won’t be a lot of snow, however.
While the weather service expects a “prolonged snow event”, it is uncertain where the heaviest snow will fall. Chance of snow 60%.
A warming trend was predicted through Monday, with a cooling trend expected to start Tuesday when onshore flow returns and a ridge of high pressure weakens, according to NWS forecasters.
Temperatures overnight are expected to be in the low 20s, with partly cloudy skies.
Flurries are possible through midday with an isolated snow shower. “There is a low risk that a small area or two ends up with a localized band of 4 to 6 inches of snow”.
Snowfall potential will all depend on where the snow bands setup Monday morning through Monday night.
US 441 through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was already closed Sunday afternoon “due to snow and ice”, according to the park information line. We’ll head back to the low 60s on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Friday Night: Mostly clear. Winds are expected from the South at 10 to 15 miles per hour with gusts up to 25 miles per hour.
