Winter Storm Information: 

The National Weather Service is tracking a significant winter storm expected to impact Southeast Michigan late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Snowfall could exceed 6 inches in some areas, with a wintry mix possible for Wayne County and surrounding communities. Hazardous road conditions and travel delays are likely.

🚗 Safety Reminders:
✔️ Plan and allow extra time for travel.
✔️ Slow down and drive cautiously on slick roads.
✔️ Give salt trucks and plows space to work.
✔️ Stay updated with the latest forecasts.
Our DPS crews are actively monitoring conditions and are prepared to respond as the storm moves in.

Also, please remember we have the Wayne County Compass app, which can be downloaded on both iPhones and Androids. You can track to see where the Department of Public Service plows have been and report any issues you might see.
