DETROIT (WWJ) - Metro Detroit is a wet, sloppy mess right now. From the east side to the west side, roads are closed due to widespread flooding.

A Flood Warning has been extended until 7 p.m. Friday for southeast Michigan. Snow melt combined with 2 to 3 inches of rainfall since Tuesday is causing significant rises on area rivers.
