WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Overnight into Tuesday a weaker clipper system tracks over the U.P. and will bring some lake enchanced light showers or snow flakes. Accumulations will remain light and scattered, if any. FOX 17 Meteorologists are tracking a larger storm Wednesday and Thursday (this is the one we discussed last week). It looks to be a longer duration event with significant ice possible across our southern counties, along with snow, freezing rain, and strong wind gusts. The system looks to begin as mostly snow Wednesday AFTER the morning commute and transition into wintry mix Wednesday afternoon. Some areas will see freezing rain and light snow, others will see mostly snow and some sleet. This system looks to have an impact to travel, as well as the possibility of power outages. Conditions looks to improve slightly Thursday as temperatures look to climb above freezing, but they will crash Thursday night back into the teens, making for more slipper conditions possible Friday morning with lake effect snow.
