Rain showers stay mainly south of I-96 on Christmas Day, becoming more isolated as the day progresses. Heavier rainfall will be closer to Metro Detroit and Mid-Michigan on Christmas Day. With temperatures reaching the lower to middle 40s both days, travel conditions will be decent for most!

The only moment that temperatures will dive below freezing will be Christmas Night. Most roadways will be good-to-go, but the secondary roads might hold some slick spots. As always, take it slow when temperatures drop below freezing!

A few more weak disturbances and systems move through the rest of the week, bringing additional rounds of a wintry mix. Stay tuned with FOX 17 for all travel updates.
