Tonight’s Forecast: Heavy snow, windy, cold

From Fox 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Expect challenging travel conditions today as most of West Michigan will pick up steady snow through at least midday. A WINTER STORM WARNING has been extended for Oceana, Muskegon and Ottawa counties through Noon for 5-8″ of snow and pockets of snow up to around a foot. The rest of West Michigan is under a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY now extended through 1 p.m. for 3-6″ of snow. This morning’s commute will be very challenging, due to packed snow and fresh snow, and gusty winds. More rounds of snow develop through the rest of the work week, but will be mainly lake enhanced. Windy and colder conditions are on tap for Thursday, with highs struggling to 20-degrees, but wind chills much of the day near or below zero. The coldest days this week will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday as true Polar air moves in, with morning temperatures around or below zero. Wind chills will be as low as -10 to -20. That is dangerous cold, and will be near record cold!
