WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Arctic air is moving into West Michigan, with the coldest air we have seen in six years! Dangerously cold temperatures will combine with strong winds to send wind chills down to -10 to -20 from Monday through Daybreak Wednesday. Temperatures will be dropping today, into the single figures by this evening. Wind chills will drop to zero this afternoon, and slide below zero by Daybreak Monday. Areas along/west of U.S. 131 from Sunday through Wednesday cold see at least a foot or more of lake effect. Inland areas will likely receive 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!
