The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Mostly cloudy overnight with a few flurries as a weaker wave of lighter snow tonight into Tuesday morning, especially along/north of I-96. Quiet and chilly on Wednesday with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 20s. Look for a blast of Arctic air later this week! Daytime highs will only be in the lower 20s with overnight lows in the teens. Wind chills will be in the single digits and teens. This blast of cold air looks to be part of a larger system. We are tracking more potential widespread snow accumulations into Christmas Weekend! A major winter storm may impact the entire region beginning Thursday and continuing into Sunday with significant snow, wind, perhaps blizzard conditions, and Arctic cold.
