WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Temperatures remain cold tonight, but it won't be quite as breezy. Lows will bottom out in the upper teens, with scattered areas of light snow south if I-94. That is associated with the northern edge of a major winter storm system to our south, which could bring as much as a FOOT OF SNOW from Kansas and Oklahoma through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee eastward into the Mid-Atlantic states. A swath of significant icing is developing to the north of the heavy snow, creating dangerous travel conditions over the next 24-36 hours! If you are planning to travel south, you should postpone your trip by at least a day or two. Michigan is on the northern side of this system, so we will stay primarily dry as the moisture remains well to our south. The cold air will stick around this next week, with periods of snow showers as weak low pressure systems track through on Wednesday and again Friday. Wednesday's is a "clipper system" that will bring a couple of inches of snow, with another quick 1-2" of snow Friday and early Saturday from the second system. If you are a winter weather lover, this cold pattern looks to be in place through at least the middle of January. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
