Winter Weather Advisory Issued for Southeastern Michigan

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for much of southeastern Michigan, including Oakland County. The advisory is in effect from 7 p.m. Sunday night until 6 a.m. Monday morning.

According to the NWS, Michigan can expect to see snow showers change to a mix of snow and freezing rain around midnight. Air temperatures are then expected to rise above freezing by 3 a.m., which will then support another changeover to rain. 

Ice accumulations of up to a tenth of an inch are possible, mainly on elevated surfaces. Snowfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches will be possible in some areas, including Oakland Township and Lake Orion.

According to the NWS, here's what to watch out for:

• Untreated road surfaces may become snow-covered and slippery during the evening and overnight hours.
• Untreated steps and walkways may pose a hazard to pedestrians.
