WEST MICHIGAN — A "tranquil Tuesday" across West Michigan is giveing way to accumulating snow in our lakeshore counties, as a clipper system moves through the area later tonight into tomorrow.
The system itself will not have much moisture, but the dynamics with this system will energize several bands of lake effect snow. The snow showers will develop after 8 P.M. this evening, and last through Wednesday night.
The snow from this system will not be widespread across West Michigan. The focal point of heavier snow is for communities within 5-10 miles of Lake Michigan. Specifically, north of Muskegon or Holland to the south. Inland areas, by contrast, will receive only a dusting to perhaps an inch.
As we enter a consistent cold pattern, with highs never climbing above the upper 20s, most systems moving through the Great Lakes region will have the potential for the lake to "enhance" to the snow; creating higher amounts of snow in lakeshore counties.
