WEST MICHIGAN — The Lake Effect Snow Machine is kicking into high gear along the lakeshore to start the work week. Expect significant travel impacts the closer you are to Lake Michigan. By 10:30am, a trained weather spotter had reported 7" of new snow in Grand Haven!
The snow will be the heaviest in areas within 10-miles of the Lake Michigan shoreline.
There will be high variance in totals as the lake effect bands are expected to waver with wind direction and remain quite narrow.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Allegan, Ottawa, Van Buren, Cass and Berrien Counties through 1 A.M. Tuesday.
THROUGH TUESDAY A.M.
Many communities in those counties that border Lake Michigan will likely pick up 6 to 10" of new snow by Daybreak Tuesday. There will be a large variance in totals from community to community as lake effect snow bands will be fluctuating. Isolated communities will see 12"+!
Since this is primarily a lake effect event, areas to the east of US-131 may end up seeing some sunshine Monday!
