WEST MICHIGAN — It's time to break out the winter coat and dig out the shovel. Chances for snow are on the way! Precipitation has already developed among West Michigan communities, and we'll see those snow showers taper off later today.
Lake effect showers began to move in Saturday. Due to the mixed precipitation, and potential for accumulating snow, the National Weather Service has issued a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for the following counties; Allegan, Van Buren, Cass and Berrien counties. The advisory took effect at 4 P.M. Saturday and expires at 1 P.M. Sunday. Visibility could be hindered, and snowfall could make roads slick. Roads could be extra slick Sunday morning due to snow accumulation.
West Michigan communities can expect around 1 to 2 inches of snow with localized heavier spots getting 3 inches. The higher amounts of snowfall will be west of US 131. Most of the accumulating snow will melt, but we could run into some slush on the road, creating slick and slippery conditions. Take it easy on the roads if you have any travel plans this weekend.
