Northville Road between Five Mile and Six Mile roads in Northville Township was flooded on Sunday afternoon, according to public safety officials who asked that people avoid the area.
Glenlore Trails in Commerce Township says it will be closed on Sunday night due to “extensive flooding” in the area. According to event organizers, anyone who had a ticket can email organizers for a refund or to transfer it to Jan. 3.
Rounds of prolonged heavier rainfall are expected through the afternoon and evening hours, generally along or south of Interstate 69. Thunderstorms are possible on Sunday evening.
Temperatures will drop significantly overnight and flash freezing is possible.
Snow squalls and brief, intense snow showers are expected through the day on Monday, along with brief whiteout conditions.

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
DETROIT (WXYZ) — Human remains were found in a furnace of an home on Detroit’s west side, the Detroit Police Department tells us.
