WEST MICHIGAN — From Fox 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Widespread snow will cause challenges for this morning's commute, as most of West Michigan will pick up steady snow through at least mid-morning. A WINTER STORM WARNING has been issued for Oceana, Muskegon and Ottawa counties through 10 a.m. for 5-8" of snow and pockets of snow up to around a foot. The rest of West Michigan is under a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY through 10 a.m. for 3-6" of snow. This morning's commute will be very challenging, due to packed snow and fresh snow, and gusty winds. More rounds of snow develop through the rest of the work week, but will be mainly lake enhanced. Windy and colder conditions are on tap for Thursday, with highs struggling to 20-degrees, but wind chills much of the day near or below zero. The coldest days this week will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday as true Polar air moves in, with morning temperatures around or below zero. Wind chills will be as low as -10 to -20. That is dangerous cold, and will be near record cold!
