WEST MICHIGAN — From Fox 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Another blustery and dangerously cold day is developing; with strong winds and widespread snow creating blizzard-like conditions for the morning commute. Expect sub-zero wind chills: -5 to -20. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been issued for the lakeshore, Newaygo, Kent, Barry, Kalamazoo, Cass and St. Joseph counties through 7PM. Snow totals will be 2-4" with isolated higher amounts. Gusty winds will lead to blowing snow and reduced visibility, continuing the poor driving conditions. With strong winds and cold temperatures, a COLD WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect through 9AM. Wind chills will be well below zero; as cold as -15 to -20 in some locations. The overall pattern remains much colder than average all week; with lows remaining in the single digits, highs mainly in the teens, and occasional snow showers each day. The pattern shifts a little bit starting this weekend, with lower snow chances, highs in the 20s and a peek of sun or two possible.
There are several flight delays and cancellations due to the weekend storm system. Here's the direct link to the Flight Tracker at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport
