The winter weather advice has been upgraded to a warning for a winter storm as confidence in heavy snow grows.
The criteria for a winter storm warning are generally more than 6 inches of snow during a period of 12 hours. It seems that a large part of the southeast of the Lowlands will get at least 6 centimeters of snow from Tuesday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon, when the snow falls.
Winter storm warning in pink for the heaviest snow, and advice on winter weather in purple.
The pink area is the newly issued Winter Storm Warning Area and contains Ann Arbor, Detroit, Oakland County, Flint, the entire inch except Tuscola County, and the southern border provinces.
The effective time for the Winter Storm Warning gives you a very good feeling for the period of the heaviest snow. The warning is valid from 18:00 tonight until Tuesday afternoon. The northern warning area of Genesee County and the western parts of Huron and Lapeer Counties may plan on 5 to 8 inches of snow. Southeast Lower, including Ann Arbor and Detroit, may plan to plant snow from 6 to 9 inches.
So get ready for some good old-fashioned heavy February snow. It’s not an extreme snowfall, but it will drive dangerously tonight and Tuesday morning.
