Grand Rapids, MI – Snow will continue to impact West and Central Michigan today, with accumulating snowfall expected through Sunday afternoon, creating hazardous travel conditions across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, snow showers will expand eastward Saturday afternoon, with a brief lull expected Saturday evening before snow redevelops after midnight and continues into Sunday morning. Snowfall is forecast to taper off by Sunday afternoon.
Forecasters say the highest snowfall totals—between 3 and 5 inches—are most likely northwest of a Muskegon-to-Clare line, including parts of Muskegon County, Newaygo County, and Oceana County. Areas farther southeast, including Lansing and Jackson, are expected to see lighter totals generally ranging from 1 to 2 inches.
Isolated pockets of 6 inches or more cannot be ruled out in portions of Mason, Lake, and Oceana counties, especially where snow bands persist longer.
The snow may briefly mix with rain near Interstate 94 Saturday afternoon before colder air allows snowfall to fully redevelop overnight. Officials warn that slick roads, reduced visibility, and travel disruptions are likely, especially during early Sunday morning hours.
Drivers are urged to slow down, allow extra stopping distance, and check road conditions before traveling. Snow-covered and icy roads may develop quickly, particularly on untreated secondary roads and bridges.
Residents across West Michigan, Central Michigan, and areas near the Lake Michigan shoreline should continue monitoring forecasts as conditions evolve.
