Lake-Effect Snow Alert: Expect Slick Roads and Snowfall in Lower Michigan

West Michigan is expected to experience snowfall on Monday and Tuesday, with Van Buren County upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning for 3 to 6+ inches of snow. The rest of the lakeshore counties, including Oceana, Muskegon, Ottawa, and Allegan, will be under a Winter Weather Advisory for 1 to 4 inches of snow. Lake-effect snow showers will continue throughout the day, with higher totals near 4 to 6 inches possible in some areas. Inland areas will see less significant impacts, with a trace to an inch of snow expected. High winds and blowing snow may cause reduced visibility and travel difficulties, with isolated power outages also possible. The weather is expected to calm down mid-week, with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures rising to the low to mid-40s.
