Strong wind gusts will also play a role in this system through Thursday. Several alerts have been posted for West Michigan. Click HERE for more information. Travel conditions will be the worst tonight and early Thursday morning. Drier air filters in for the second half of Thursday, but a few wintry mix will be possible. Temperatures briefly push towards 40 degrees by Thursday afternoon, which could create a small window of melting on Thursday. Temperatures drop leading into Friday, as we expect a flash freeze from any previous melting on Thursday. Lake effect snow chances or flurries are possible Friday with high temperatures only in the 20s. Light snow also continues on Saturday. Another big storm system may press into the region on Monday, but it looks warm enough for mainly all rain. Make sure to stay up on later forecasts!
