WEST MICHIGAN - More lake effect snow showers are likely overnight and Monday behind a low pressure system now along the Eastern Seaboard. Winter Weather Advisories remain in effect for West Michigan through 1 P.M. Monday to account for more snow. See image below.
We expect about 2" to 4" of total snow for our area through Monday afternoon, with the highest totals occurring west of U.S. 131. See snow totals map below.
Isolated lake effect bands have been persistent Sunday evening and will continue overnight. While many will stay dry, areas with lake effect bands will see rapid visibility reductions and difficult driving conditions.
Some of the lake effect bands will become lighter overnight and into Monday.
You'll notice that winds have ramped up! Sustained winds will stay at 15 to 25 mph with gusts of 35 to 40 from the northwest through Monday.
This is ahead of another batch of Arctic air. As it settles in Monday, expect high temperatures in the teens for most of the work week, with morning lows in the single digits to around zero. See image below.
Wind chills Monday morning and afternoon will be anywhere from 0 to -10. Without much temperature movement and continued gusty winds, it will be dangerously cold to be outside for more than a few minutes without adequate skin covering and protection.
