WEST MICHIGAN — Travel Wednesday across the Midwest could be a little tricky, especially if you’re heading south and east of Grand Rapids.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Ionia, Barry, Eaton, Kalamazoo, Calhoun,  St. Joseph, and Branch Counties in the FOX 17 viewing area. These areas will receive 1 to 3 inches of snow.

The attached picture shows that it is going to be a lot worse in Indiana and Ohio.  Parts of these states are under blizzard warnings, with other areas under winter storm warnings. There is even a chance of a tornado outbreak in the Deep South. For a look at all the watches and warnings across the country, click http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wwa
