WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES posted for most of the area through 2 A.M. Sunday morning. Snow accumulation between 1" to 3" in additional accumulations, with potentially some locally higher totals occurring during this time frame. The steadiest accumulations will be along U.S. 131, but strong winds will drive these snow showers well east of U.S. 131 too. Sunday morning snow showers will begin to taper and cloud cover diminishes. The weekend will end with some sunshine Sunday evening. Spring officially arrives on Monday at 5:24 P.M with the spring equinox. It's the exact time when the sun is directly overhead of the equator giving most locations around the globe "equal days and equal nights" with about 12 hours of each. Spring really swoops in full swing, as there are indications that our temperatures may reach or exceed 50 degrees well into next week!
