Sleet Expected to Make Wednesday's Commute Difficult

Even though the calendar says spring, Old Man Winter has not released his grips on us just yet.

A winter storm warning has been issued for Macomb County and parts of southeast Michigan.

The storm warning is in effect from 8 p.m. Tuesday to 2 p.m. Wednesday.

As a mix of rain, sleet and snow continues to fall overnight, the roadways are expected to become slippery and dangerous, making Wednesday morning’s commute treacherous.

Ice is expected to coat power lines and tree limbs, and gusty wind may knock down power lines.

The freezing rain may be heavy for periods of time and thunder is likely.

The precipitation will turn into snow Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, resulting in about 1 to 2 inches of possible snow.
