WEST MICHIGAN — From Fox 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: An arctic air mass will grip West Michigan this weekend. Temperatures will fall to around 10-degrees Saturday afternoon, with many locations dropping into the single digits tonight into early Sunday. The combination of the very cold temperatures and a gusty NW wind will drop the wind chills ("feels-like") readings to below zero levels. With temperatures this cold, the salt and melting chemicals won't be effective on area roads, so travel will become quite hazardous for Saturday and Sunday. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY will go into effect for lakeshore counties from 4PM Saturday through 11AM Sunday. An addional 1-3" of lake effect snow is likely; creating slippery and icy travel conditions. There is a thaw ahead for mid-week next week-at least getting above freezing!
TODAY: Breezy and very cold with temperatures falling into the low-teens by the afternoon. Wind Chills will drop below zero. Scattered lake effect snow showers. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY (Starting at 4PM) Winds: NW 10-20 mph
TONIGHT: WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY (lakeshore counties) Scattered lake effect snow shower, SW of GR, Lows: 5-10 Winds: NW 5-15 mph
SUNDAY: WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY (Until 11AM) Very cold and breezy with light snow possible. Highs in the low 20s. Wind Chills: Near or below zero
MONDAY: Cold and mainly dry. Highs in the low 20s.
TUESDAY: Cloudy and cold with highs around 30.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy and not as cold. Highs in the mid 30s.
THURSDAY: Chance rain-snow showers. Highs in the mid-upper 30s.
FRIDAY: Cloudy skies. Highs near 40.
