The heaviest snows this morning will fall though Allegan and Van Buren counties, where an additional 2-5" of snow will be possible today; with the heaviest falling through the morning commute. Similar to yesterday in that where you are (and where you will be heading) will dictate exactly the conditions you will face. Lakeshore communities north of Holland that picked up the most significant snow yesterday are getting a break this morning.

In those counties, an additional 2-5" of snow will be possible today. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORYis set to expire in effect for Muskegon, Lake, Oceana and Mason Counties. At least 2 more "Clipper systems" are on the horizon, with additional snow likely with each of them. One will arrive late tonight into Wednesday; with the next arriving Wednesday night into Thursday morning, bringing a much more significant impact as widespread snow showers energize with strong winds and sharply colder air.
