WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from Fox17 Meteorologist Kara James: After impressive snow totals over the last few days, we are getting a quick break from heavier snow through tonight and early tomorrow morning. A few light flurries are possible overnight and early tomorrow, but accumulations will be very minor. However, a clipper system coming in from southern Canada has prompted a new WINTER STORM WATCH. CLICK HERE for more information on this event. Snow totals of 3-8" from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday night are likely, with isolated higher totals. Winds will be gusty as well, upwards of 30-35 mph at times. That could cause blowing and drifting snow, reduce visibility and increase travel concerns. This will be a more widespread heavy snow event with more significant impacts on the roads. Stay with FOX17 for the latest forecast updates!
