WEST MICHIGAN — Our cold and snowy winter is about to get even colder and snowier. More wicked wintry weather is moving in for the second half of the weekend.
After a mild day Saturday with highs near 30 degrees, a blast of dangerously cold air invades Sunday. In addition, a weather system moving in from the south promises to spread accumulating snow back into West Michigan, heaviest along and south of I-96. This image from our in-house computer model, Future Track, shows the setup at 7:00pm Saturday. The threat of snow continues into Sunday as well. Behind this system, much colder air moves in for Sunday night into Tuesday.
All of West Michigan is under a wind chill advisory from Sunday night all the way until Tuesday afternoon. Wind chills are expected to be between 25 and 35 below zero.
Parts of West Michigan are under a winter storm watch from 7:00pm Saturday through 1:00AM Monday. Over six inches of snow is possible. This watch includes the counties of Ionia, Allegan, Barry, Eaton, Van Buren, Kalamazoo, and Calhoun.
