Those in Michigan should brace themselves for a major snow storm on Saturday that could leave up to 10 inches of snow in some upper regions of the state.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday for all of southeast Michigan. According to meteorologists, the area will likely receive about 3 to 6 inches of snow that will fall throughout the day and evening hours.

"It will be our first snow of the season on Saturday," said CBS 62 Chief Meteorologist Jim Madaus. "We could see about one inch to possibly three inches here in Detroit, a little more up to our north and our west."

Weather experts predict that the snow will begin to develop across the region early Saturday morning and then pick up its pace later on in the day. Meanwhile, the heaviest snowfall rates are expected late Saturday afternoon through the evening, which could lead to around 5 inches of snow accumulation.

Other areas could see 3 to 6 inches of snow tomorrow, starting by 5 or 6 a.m. and lasting all day. However, regions south of I-696 will could get both a mixture of rain and snow, while areas south of I-94 will see more of a wintry mix early on before the weather system switches to wet snow.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for heavy snow from 4 to 8 inches in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties. Other parts of Cook County closer to Lake Michigan, including downtown Chicago, could see 2 to 5 inches.

In addition, temperatures will also drop below freezing Saturday night, creating dangerous driving conditions as wet or snow-covered roads become extremely slippery.

Besides a few flakes and flurries Sunday morning, the remainder of the day will be partly sunny, cool and windy with temps in the upper 20s to low 30s.
