Up to 4 Inches of Snow Expected Across Parts of Southeast Michigan, Forecasters Say

November 27, 2025 · By sheploocloud@gmail.com · In U.S. News

Southeast Michigan could see its first significant snowfall of the season as a new weather system moves through the region on Wednesday night, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters say areas north and west of Detroit may receive between 2 and 4 inches of accumulation, with the heaviest snow expected before dawn Thursday.

The system is not expected to cause widespread hazards, but officials say reduced visibility and slick roads may affect early morning commuters. Light snow could continue into Thanksgiving morning before tapering off.

Heaviest Snowfall Likely West and North of Metro Detroit

Meteorologists say snowfall totals will vary across the region. Communities in Livingston, Oakland, and western Washtenaw counties are most likely to see near 4 inches, while Detroit and areas closer to Lake Erie may receive only a dusting to 1 inch due to warmer surface temperatures.

Forecasters noted that grassy and elevated surfaces will accumulate snow more quickly, though major roadways may stay mostly wet. Temperatures are expected to hover near the freezing mark overnight.

Travel Impacts Expected for Holiday Commuters

With millions traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday, officials are urging drivers to use caution during the Thursday morning rush. The Michigan Department of Transportation says crews will be on standby to treat bridges and overpasses, which tend to freeze first.

Air travel delays are not anticipated at this time, but weather officials warn that changing conditions could affect visibility. Drivers heading north toward Flint, Saginaw, or Traverse City may encounter heavier snow bands.

Cold Pattern to Continue Into the Weekend

The National Weather Service expects temperatures to remain below normal through the weekend, with highs in the low to mid-30s and overnight lows in the 20s. Additional light snow showers are possible Friday and Saturday, though no major accumulation is forecast.

Warmer and drier conditions may return early next week as the system moves east. Forecasters say this early-season snowfall is typical for the region and not a sign of an extreme winter ahead.
