WEST MICHIGAN — From Fox 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Winter has returned to West Michigan and will be sticking around for awhile! The sunshine many enjoyed Thursday will not make another appearance again for awhile, as the train of Arctic systems continues. The next system arrives overnight, with widespread snow that could be heavy at times throughout the first half of the day Friday. Expect 2-4" with additional lake effect snow through the evening adding another couple of inches. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been issued for Oceana, Muskegon, Ottawa, Allegan, Van Buren, Newaygo and Kent counties from 10 p.m. tonight to 7 a.m. Saturday. Travel difficulties will be likely, especially during the Friday morning commute. Several more rounds of snow will develop over the next week; great news for winter weather enthusiasts, but temperatures will drop into the teens in the afternoons next week and mornings in the single digits as even colder Arctic air drains in.
TONIGHT: Widespread snow develops after midnight.. Lows in the teens. Winds: S 5-15 mph
FRIDAY: WEATHER READY ALERT Widespread snow for the morning commute. 2-4" likely with higher totals north and west of Grand Rapids. Cold with highs in the low 30s. Winds: S 15-25 mph
