Full Notification

* WHAT...Freezing rain producing ice accumulations around a half to three quarters of an inch are expected. Sleet and snow may mix in at times, mainly north of I-69, but just light accumulations if at all. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph, which may further increase later Sunday morning.

* WHERE...Huron, Saginaw, Tuscola, Sanilac, Shiawassee, Genesee, Lapeer, Livingston and Oakland Counties.

* WHEN...From 4 AM Saturday to 7 AM EST Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice and strong winds. Travel could become nearly impossible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Temperatures are expected to fall below freezing early Saturday morning. There remains uncertainty where the line of freezing temperatures and therefore freezing rain will advance through the day Saturday, which will dictate which areas see the highest ice accumulations. Currently the freezing line looks to stall across central Livingston and Oakland Counties resulting in a large gradient of ice accumulation from north to south across those counties.

* AFFECTED AREAS: OAKLAND ... LAPEER ... SAGINAW ... HURON ... TUSCOLA ... SANILAC ... SHIAWASSEE ... LIVINGSTON ... GENESEE
