Timeline:
According to the National Weather Service, any area of Southeast Michigan could see snow squalls between 1-8 p.m.
These squalls will have minimal accumulation - a dusting to ½ inch - but can quickly lead to zero visibility. Temperatures will be in the 20s, meaning that roads could also freeze within minutes if a squall moves through the area.
Looking forward, we'll see a few more inches added to the snow totals headed into Saturday morning.
Current models show that 2-4 inches of snow are expected from Friday night through Saturday. Another inch or so of snow is possible Sunday.
