Weekend Outlook: Deep Freeze Lingers, More Snow Coming

DETROIT (WWJ) - Metro Detroit is in the midst of a deep freeze, and it doesn't appear to be ending any time soon.

"We have very low temperatures for your Saturday," CBS 62 Chief Meteorologist Jim Madaus. "We only top out around 10, 11, 12 degrees later today in metro Detroit with a mix of sun and clouds."

A Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect until 12 p.m. Saturday for Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties.

Wind chills of 10 to 20 below zero are expected through the morning, posing an increased risk of frostbite and hypothermia if precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors, be sure to cover as much skin surface as possible.

As we move into Sunday, temperatures will feel slightly warmer, with a high around 28 degrees.

"A system is coming at us from the southwest that later on Sunday could bring some snow into Monday morning, perhaps a couple of inches," Madaus said.

Here's the local forecast from the CBS Detroit weather team:

Saturday: Sunshine and clouds mixed. A few flurries or snow showers possible. High 11F; Low 0F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph.
