Freezing rain, sleet hit Wayne, Oakland, Macomb counties
White Lake Township The New Year began Friday in Metro Detroit with chilly temperatures and a mix of freezing rain and rain.
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, warning of possibly slippery roads.
The advisory is in effect in Wayne County until midnight, while it remains open in Oakland and Macomb counties until 6 a.m. Saturday, meteorologist Steve Considine said. The big thing is going to be the freezing rain, Considine said. It was quite cold last night, with temperatures in the 20s, and as the rain comes in, the road temperatures are still cold. I suspect some roads will be icy into later this evening.
