The combination of strength and duration for this snowmaker suggests 5-9 inches around metro Detroit and south. Lesser amounts, around 3-5 inches, are expected north around I-69.

Forecast models are indicating the heaviest snow more likely to fall near and south of Detroit with the amounts tapering off to the north.

The morning rush will likely have 1-3 inches of snow on the ground, but snow falling during the drive. Snow will continue through the day, making it a challenge to keep roads and highways clear.

There is still time for a slight shift in the snow axis, so we will continue to update you with the timing and amounts of snow as forecast models strive to pinpoint the storm's track.
