It’s expected to be extremely cold beginning Friday morning in Metro Detroit. The National Weather Service has issued a Cold Weather Advisory for 1 a.m. Friday, Jan. 23, to 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 24, for dangerously cold wind chills as low as 25 below zero.

The weather forecasts for Friday through Sunday have resulted in some venue closings and event cancellations in Metro Detroit.

Weather service officials said dangerous sub-zero wind chills are expected through Saturday morning and again Sunday morning.

One to three inches of snow are expected Wednesday morning in Metro Detroit. The snow fades by the afternoon, with only a drizzle in the forecast later in the day. Temps rise to near freezing today before the frigid cold returns quickly.
