Special Weather Statement issued January 27 at 1:25PM EST by NWS Detroit/Pontiac MI

Effective: Tue January 27, 2026, 1:25 PM
Expires: Tue January 27, 2026, 3:30 PM

WEATHER... * Westery winds 15-20 mph gusting to 30 mph will result in localized blowing snow across southeastern Michigan during the afternoon. * Snow accumulations around half an inch in the heavier snow showers, with visibilities briefly reduced to a quarter of mile or less. * Air temperatures will range between 15 and 18 degrees. IMPACTS... * Blowing snow may lead to localized whiteout conditions. Rapid fluctuations of visibility will occur. * The stronger winds may lead to drifting of snow on roadways, particularly in locations with open exposure.

* Localized means the effects of the blowing snow will be limited to a compartively small area influenced by local terrain. Motorists are urged to use caution and account for variable driving conditions by slowing down and allowing extra time. * Prepare, plan and stay informed. Visit http://go.usa.gov/c7kkP

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
