Next snow system will blanket Michigan again, west third much heavier than eastern Michigan
Key Points:
- An Alberta Clipper storm system will bring widespread snow to all of Michigan starting tonight, with heavier accumulations expected in the western third of Lower Michigan.
- Most of Lower Michigan, including Grand Rapids eastward, will receive 2-3 inches of snow, leading to slick and cold road conditions by midday Friday.
- Western Lower Michigan, especially counties along Lake Michigan, will see a combination of 3-6 inches of lake-effect snow plus 2-3 inches from the storm, totaling 3-8 inches and creating very treacherous travel conditions.
- Winds will be moderate at 10-20 mph, causing blowing and drifting of the light, fluffy snow, contributing to slow driving conditions across the region on Friday
