thank you Paul good morning at seven
o'clock I'm Priya man and good morning
everyone I'm Sean Lee thanks for joining
us on a Saturday for local four news
today coming up on 7:00 a.m. yes snow is
falling starting to build up a bit on
the roads
plenty of people spinning out on those
roads yeah that's right we've been
talking to MDOT they've got crews on
area freeways clearing those roads right
now getting them salted we also spoke to
MSP monitoring crashes on area roads
Paul you've been tracking this storm all
night long and we haven't even seen the
worst of it yet yeah that's right and
fortunately the forecast right now is
quite stable things are kind of playing
out at this point it appears to be
playing out right on schedule
winter weather advisory has not cancer
has not changed it's in effect through
four o'clock this afternoon
basically the m59 corridor all the way
down to the state line north of there
the amounts will be lighter so you're
not covered by the advisory so what you
need to know the most impactful snow is
going to be basically between 8 9
o'clock in the morning and maybe 1/2 in
the afternoon we're still looking at 2
to 6 inches with the least to the north
and the most at least the chance for six
inches down near the state line and by
the way after the snow we have a
different problem that we're going to
change to and that's an arctic blast so
we'll talk about that coming up but
right now here's radar this right here
is the light snow that came in overnight
but now here's the main thrust with the
storm itself you notice the darker
colors so that's a heavier snowfall rate
and so that's moving into the area and
we're gonna see that progressing to the
northeast over the next couple of hours
and continuing through the morning hours
now this is just kind of a rough sketch
of snowfall amounts in the next next 10
minutes I'll get to the four zone
forecast and we'll dive in real deep
into these numbers but we're looking at
basically four to six inches for
basically south of 94 to the state line
central part of the area three to four
inches and then to the north we're
talking about i-69 and northward perhaps
just a couple of inches so this is a
storm where it's going to be something
that's going to be from north to south
it's gonna be heavier as you get down to
the south temperatures holding steady
through the day by the way speaking of
that for zone forecast not only am I
going to have that in just a few minutes
but don't forget you can get that on the
weather page at clickondetroit.com and
also in our free local forecasters app
again I've got specific snowfall
forecasts for many of your neighborhoods
right there be back in a few guys Paul
thank you let's check those roads
a little it definitely icy and snow
covered right now for live traffic
update for you this morning
eastbound 94 Greenfield the right
shoulder is currently closed for a spin
out westbound 94 at Merryman west
shoulder is closed as well plenty of
accidents across Metro Detroit of course
snow been falling since about 1:00 a.m.
this morning this is the first part of
the storm second part coming a little in
just a few hours yeah we're expected to
get hit with a few inches we've been
talking to Larry scrool all morning long
and there's been different experiences
depending on where you are across Metro
Detroit Larry where are you right now
and what are you seeing this is that
katroo sana and Priya good morning we on
eastbound 94 heading back into the city
near the airport and it seems a little
lighter where the road seems a little
bit better in the conditions we could
take a look at our cameras on this
morning now snow is still covering the
roads but you can maneuver your way and
see a better direction as far as the
lanes in this part of the area so that
is a very good thing if you're driving
eastbound into the city near the airport
and Romulus but it's still very messy
conditions as you can see on the other
side take if we could take a look at our
front camera a car in the ditch as well
a tow truck over there trying to help
that car out of the ditch so that's
still a very important factor is still
an issue here that cars are sliding into
the ditch and that is becoming a problem
on our roads this morning as well but
and as we're heading back into the city
and this part is seeing that the roads
are getting worse so just different
parts of the stretch of 94 eastbound
where the snow is heavy and more in some
area than others and so that's still a
factor but we are still asking people if
you are driving on the roads this
morning to take your time that is a key
factor take your time and pack your
patience we're live on Interstate 94
eastbound this morning leery Spruill
local for Sean and Priya back to you
guys
all right Thank You Larry looking at his
live shot no you can sort of see that
Center Lane center Lane yeah yeah that's
clear on most interstates Lodge i-75 and
94 where Larry is right there thank you
Larry
we know Larry's also being very safe
because he's getting ready for his next
report but you're right
