The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: An impactful clipper system moved through West Michigan this evening with snow, blowing snow, and gusty winds. WINTER STORM WARNINGS are in place for much of West Michigan through early Friday morning, due to this system. CLICK HERE for more information on this event. Snow totals of 4" to 8" (locally more) from this evening through Friday morning are likely. Winds will be gusty as well, upwards of 45-50 mph at times this evening/overnight. That will cause blowing and drifting snow, reduced visibility, and make for dangerous and difficult driving conditions. We expect brief white-out conditions and snow squalls this evening and overnight with moderate to heavy snow and significant wind. Please exercise caution on the roads! Scattered power outages are also possible. This will be a more widespread heavy snow event with more significant impacts on a widespread basis. Stay with FOX17 for the latest forecast updates!
