WEST MICHIGAN — From Fox 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: There is a WEATHER READY ALERT for this morning's commute, as icy conditions have developed on area roads following yesterday's widespread rain and melting snow. Scattered snow showers and gusty winds will create additional challenges, with blowing snow and visibility issues, especially in lakeshore counties. There is a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for the lakeshore and Kalamazoo County from 10 p.m. tonight until 1 p.m. Friday. Snow totals will be in the 2-4" range, with around an inch or less elsewhere. Gusty winds will create blowing snow and low visibility, and any road with standing water left on it will freeze as temperatures plummet into the 20s. Be prepared for icy spots. Snow showers end Friday afternoon with highs staying in the 20s. A WIND ADVISORY is in effect for all of West Michigan through this evening. The pattern becomes much quieter starting this weekend, with highs back in the 30s. Looking ahead, temperatures will warm "above average" for Christmas week, with no major storms on the horizon.
