WEST MICHIGAN — From Fox 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Windy and sharply colder conditions are moving into West Michigan behind an arctic cold front, which is sending temperatures tumbling and will generate multiple rounds of heavy lake effect snow showers. Snow showers transition to lake effect snow quickly Wednesday morning, and the immediate lakeshore looks to pick up significant snow along with very gusty winds. Most inland areas will pick up an inch or two of snow today, but heavy snow banding will create challenging travel conditions for anyone along the lakeshore Wednesday into Thursday. A WINTER STORM WARNING is in effect from Berrien County into northern Indiana from this morning through Thursday afternoon, for the potential for as much as 6-9" of new snow! A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect for Oceana, Muskegon, Allegan, Van Buren and Cass Counties for 2-6" of snow and gusty winds. Lake effect snow showers will develop most days this week, gradually accumulating and causing slick spots on the roads. Friday into the weekend another push of colder air arrives, with more widespread snow. Wind chills this week will be in the single digits to teens most days.
