WEST MICHIGAN — (FOX 17) — After mild temperatures on Saturday in which most areas will rise into the 40s, a big change is on the way for Saturday Night.

The picture above shows FOX 17 Future Track HD for 7:30 Saturday Night. It is at this time the Arctic cold front will be moving into West Michigan. Temperatures will plummet with gusty winds. There will likely be a wind advisory issued for Saturday night, as I expect wind gusts of 40 miles per hour as the cold air pours in.

With the arrival of the cold front Saturday evening, there will be a quick burst of widespread system snow but only just an inch or two.

Behind the cold front, some lake-effect snow will develop and will become heavy at times Sunday evening into Sunday night. The lake-effect snow will persist into Monday and Tuesday as well.

There will be some watches, warnings, and advisories issued for this weekend. For a look at what is happening here and across the rest of the country, click HERE.
