Metro Detroit Forecast: Cold Weather Advisory in effect; snow chances this weekend

(WXYZ) — From Friday morning through this weekend, a significant shot of arctic air is expected to settle into Southeast Michigan. Highs on Friday and Saturday are forecast to be very cold in the single digits (around 7° and 9 °) with overnight lows dipping below zero — potentially well below zero Friday night and wind chills that could fall as cold as -20 ° early Saturday morning. It's the coldest air of the season so far and will stick around through the weekend.

Watch the forecast from Mike Taylor below:

Snow chances will continue too. Snow is now expected Sunday and Sunday night. We will be on the northern edge of a very big storm to our south. The farther south you are, the more snow during this time. Areas south of Detroit could end up with 3"-5" by Monday morning with 1"-3" north of the city during the same time.
