WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: A very cold night is on tap for West Michigan, as March begins with an air mass that feels more like January! Ironically, today was the beginning of meteorological Spring. Afternoon temperatures were stuck in the mid-20s and combined with winds out of the northwest to keep wind chills in the single-figures and teens. Any lingering snow showers will gradually come to an end overnight, with temperatures tumbling into the teens by Sunday morning. Sunday will feature a return to at least partial sunshine and not as much wind; though highs will remain "below average"; only in the upper 20s to around 30-degrees. The cold air won't last long, however, as another warm up is on the horizon for the first half of the week. Monday will be dry with highs in the 40s. The next storm system arrives for Tuesday, and Wednesday, likely coming as mostly rain through Wednesday afternoon. Rain changes over to snow by late Wednesday night as colder air arrives. Winds will become quite gusty Wednesday into Thursday. The track of this system will need to be watched, as accumulating snow may be possible if this system moves further south/east of Michigan.
