The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: There are two systems of energy coming into the Great Lakes. Over the last few days it appeared as if this energy would link up or combine and create some heavy snow. Now, it seems that both will impact Michigan, but each system will operate independently as they move into and through the region. That said, the best lift and most moisture will be coming in from the west over Wisconsin. While most of our area will likely only pick up an inch or two of snow Saturday afternoon/evening, our northern counties (north of Grand Rapids) stand the best chance at seeing 3" to 5"+. This is where a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been issued from 7 A.M. Saturday thru 7 A.M. Sunday. So far we've tallied 54.3" of snow. Normal totals for the entire season are around 77", so we are well on pace into the beginning of February. Colder air is on tap for most of next week with below average temperatures likely holding on through mid-February. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
