Grand Blanc, MI Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

...Slick conditions develop this morning...

Pockets of light to moderate intensity freezing rain have expanded
across southeast Michigan this morning. Coverage has remained
scattered so far, although a more cohesive band of freezing rain
is filling in over Howell-Ann Arbor-Monroe. This band will lift
northeast through the morning, leading to locally higher freezing
rain rates up to few hundredths of an inch per hour. Air
temperatures range between 30-33 degrees, allowing for slick
conditions to quickly develop on untreated, paved surfaces. Use
extreme caution when walking or driving this morning and allow
extra travel time to reach your destination.

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM EST THIS
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Freezing rain expected. Total ice accumulations will range
between one tenth of an inch to just below a quarter inch.

* WHERE...A portion of southeast Michigan.

* WHEN...Until 4 PM EST this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Plan on icy roads and surface conditions. The hazardous
conditions will impact the morning commute and holiday travel.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The higher end ice accumulation potential to
or above two-tenths of an inch will be favored around the M-59
corridor through the I-69 corridor, and north through Saginaw,
Tuscola, and Sanilac Counties. In addition to freezing rain, some
mixing of sleet remains possible across the northern Tri-Cities
and northern Thumb, with sleet accumulation potential to a
half-inch or less. Locations towards Metro Detroit and the Ohio
border have the best chance of temperatures rising above freezing
by the afternoon.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be prepared for hazardous travel. Slow down and use caution while
driving. If you are going outside, watch your first few steps taken
on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways. These surfaces could be icy and
slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury. Isolated to
scattered power outages will be possible.
