The snow has arrived Wednesday in Metro Detroit, and it’s likely to continue for a good portion of the day.
Precipitation across Southeast Michigan changed over to snow in the late morning and early afternoon Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026.
Temperatures are in the mid-20s for most of the area, and winds are blowing northwest at 10-15 mph.
Current wind chills are closer to 20 degrees, as of early Wednesday afternoon.
An afternoon update increases snowfall totals from this morning’s forecast, with many getting another 1-2 inches on top of the 1-3 inches that has already fallen.
Higher totals — maybe even 6 inches — are possible for the Thumb and closer to Lake Huron due to the lake effect.
A Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect until 10 p.m. for most of Southeast Michigan, for Sanilac County the advisory will end at 10 a.m. Thursday morning.

We’ll get some sun Thursday before snow chances return Friday.
