Metro Detroiters can expect some snow relief next week, but are advised to be aware of temperatures that will feel below zero.

"We'll see wind chills dropping down to the single digits" and possibly below zero in Detroit on Monday night into Tuesday morning, said Andrew Arnold, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Detroit office.

The weather service is forecasting Monday night's temperatures to fall to a low of around 1 degree. With west northwest wind of 6 to 8 mph and gusts as high as 18 mph the wind chill value could reach -8 degrees, the weather service said.

For the rest of Sunday evening, the region can expect some scattered snow showers and flurries with lows in the teens, Arnold said.
