Here’s what the NWS in Grand Rapids is forecasting:
It’s time to make the full mental transition back to winter driving as our first multi-day Lake Effect snow event is expected Thursday through Saturday! Accumulations up to 8-12 inches (or greater in spots) will be possible through Saturday morning, with some additional snowfall possible the rest of the Saturday into Sunday (additional accums not reflected on map below). Temperatures will be below freezing much of this time, so roads will become snow covered and slippery. Stay safe and be aware of changing road conditions!
Around here, we’re expecting some bands of snow, but nothing that reaches winter storm levels. Not yet at least.
