WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: A cold front will spark some spotty light snow or flurries after midnight tonight, through early tomorrow morning. A major winter storm system is developing and will likely bring widespread heavy snow into the Great Lakes region by mid-week. WINTER STORM WATCHES are in place for most of West Michigan from Wednesday evening to Thursday morning to account for the heavy snow. Accumulations of 5-8" are likely, with travel impacts expected. The current track of this system going through the Ohio Valley keeps West Michigan in an area of enhanced heavy snow. A change in the track of the system will affect the amount of snow expected here. Snow gradually ends Thursday afternoon. Friday looks dry, but we are tracking the potential for another system to arrive for the weekend. Colder air is likely holding on through the end of February.
