The evening commute could be very slippery as rain changes to snow later today.
The National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac has issued a Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 7 p.m. Tuesday until 7 a.m. Wednesday. Rain will change over to snow this evening and continue overnight. The snow, which may be heavy at times, should taper off by morning; total snowfall accumulations will range from 1-4 inches. The drop in temperature will cause icy road conditions; untreated roads will be slippery for the Wednesday morning commute, warns the weather service. "A winter weather advisory means that periods of snow will cause travel difficulties," states the weather service. "Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities."

Oakland County and the rest of southeast Michigan should prepare for 2 inches of rain along with wind, snow and ice.
With heavy rain expected tonight through Wednesday, Oakland County communities are under a flood watch. And there's a bit of white stuff in the forecast, too. The ground is already soaked from previous rains, the 2 inches or more of rain forecast for 7 p.m. today through Wednesday morning means rivers could approach flood stage with localized flooding of low lying areas and some roadways, the National Weather Service says. That four-letter word – snow – is also being tossed into the forecast as temperatures are expected to dip from the mid-40s to the mid-20s by Thursday night. The wet and cold conditions coupled with winds gusting to 25 mph also could create icy conditions.
