WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Dangerously cold Arctic air is gripping West Michigan, with the coldest air we have seen in six years! Single digit temperatures will combine with strong winds to send wind chills down to -10 to -25 from Monday through Daybreak Wednesday. Locally heavy lake effect snow bands will continue to prevail, and with a westerly shift to the winds, the snow bands will migrate inland; even to areas east of U.S. 13. Lakeshore counties that saw several inches of snow Sunday will end up with totals from this event on the order of at least a foot; with many inland areas receiving at least three to six inches of snow. Visibility will be reduced with blowing and drifting, especially on north-south roadways. This snow will be the light, fluffy, powdery, and a low-moisture content consistency...so it will add up and fluff up fast! Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
