The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Arctic air is still gripping the region, with another very cold night ahead. Scattered lake effect snow showers west of U.S. 131 will likely increase in intensity as a trough of low pressure swings through the state overnight. 2" to 4" of new snow is expected at the immediate lakeshore by morning. Accumulations inland will likely be an inch or less. Overall, the rest of the week will be mainly dry and quieter. Even as the worst of the Arctic air lifts out tomorrow, unseasonably cold air sticks around into the weekend. High temperatures are not likely to reach "seasonable levels" until Sunday. Today (Wednesday) marks day 13 in a row of below freezing temperatures in West Michigan. For this time of year, our "average highs" are in the mid 30s. It does look like a warmup is on the horizon for the last few days of February, leading into early March. We could be in the upper 30s to near 40. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
