The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Tonight will be cloudy but dry, with lows in the middle to upper teens. A winter storm system moving out of the Rockies will bring widespread heavy snow into the Great Lakes region beginning midday tomorrow, lasting into Thursday morning. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in place for West Michigan from 1 p.m. tomorrow to 7 a.m. Thursday to account for the widespread accumulating snow. Totals of 4" to 6" are likely (with isolated higher amounts with travel impacts expected. The current track of this system going through the Ohio Valley keeps West Michigan in an area of only snow, although some light freezing rain/drizzle may mix in at times south/east of Grand Rapids. Some lake effect snow showers are possible Thursday morning and midday as this system wraps up, but should be light. Valentine's Day evening brings the potential of more snow during the evening. Your dinner plans are safe, but be aware that several more inches of snow are possible Friday evening through the weekend. Cold air is likely holding on through the end of February.
