The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: The core of the coldest air is shifting out of West Michigan, and temperatures will keep into Thursday morning. We aren't getting above freezing anytime soon, but temps above 15 degrees mean road salt is effective and driving conditions will improve some into Thursday. But, reduced visibility from blowing and drifting snow is likely as an additional snow system moves in overnight with a cold front. There is a Winter Storm Warning for Ottawa, Muskegon, Oceana and Newaygo counties through 10 A.M. Thursday and Winter Weather Advisories elsewhere. Snow totals of 4" to 8"+ are likely in the warning area, with about 2" to 5" elsewhere in the advisory. We expect white-out conditions along the lakeshore especially overnight with strong winds and powdery snow being blown around. Dangerous travel conditions will persist through the end of the week, even as temperatures warm up a bit. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
