WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Mostly cloudy, windy, cold, blustery conditions continue into the overnight hours. WIND ADVISORY in effect for all lake shore counties expires at 2 A.M. Wednesday morning. Some snow could mix in at times, otherwise some lighter rain. Temperatures this week will stay chilly through Thursday morning as a big trough in our upper level jet stream and upper level low spin over the region and allow for cold air to pour in from Canada. This cold air will infiltrate areas all the way to the Gulf Coast with frost/freeze warnings there. We also have winter storm warnings posted across the Upper Peninsula where more than a foot has already fallen in some areas. We will remain 15 to 20 degrees below average until Thursday! Showers will wrap up by Wednesday, the upper level trough will lift out Thursday, and sunshine returns Friday and Saturday with temperatures pushing back into the 60s.
