WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Cold and quiet weather conditions prevail in West Michigan, as a major winter storm system continues creating treacherous and dangerous conditions from the Ohio Valley to the Eastern Seaboard. If you are planning to travel south, you be prepared for travel delays and disruptions due to challenging road conditions and power outages. Thankfully breaks in the clouds earlier today will add to our minimal sunshine so far this year, with prior to today only 18-minutes of sunshine so far in January! (Click here to read more about our perpetual cloud-a-thon!)The cold air will stick around this 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!
