WEST MICHIGAN — WEST MICHIGAN - More winter weather is on the way through Thursday. An Arctic blast arrived Wednesday night with a cold front, and wind speeds will stay high overnight behind the front. WINTER STORM WARNINGS and WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES remain in effect through Thursday at 7 P.M.. Our southern counties of Berrien, Cass, and St. Joseph are under advisories through 1 P.M. Thursday. See image below.
Plenty of upper level energy creating lift in the atmosphere, along with the arrival of Arctic air, will continue to generate snow through Thursday. See images below.
Winds will really ramp up overnight with the arrival of the Arctic air. We expect winds from the west at 15 to 25 mph with some gusts of 40/45 mph at the lakeshore possible. See images below. Note the orange, red, magenta...tied to the higher wind speeds.
Strong wind speeds coupled with Arctic air will drive wind chills or feels like temperatures well below zero. See the images below valid 6 A.M. Thursday and 6 P.M. Thursday. Bundle up!
