Grand Rapids, MI – A wind advisory remains in effect across southwestern Michigan today, with gusts reaching up to 45 mph. Residents should expect hazardous conditions, especially on highways like I-96 and US-131, where visibility may be reduced due to blowing snow.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the advisory will remain in place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday. Winds from the southwest at 15 to 25 mph, with peak gusts of 45 mph, could down tree limbs and potentially cause power outages. Drivers, particularly those in high-profile vehicles, are urged to exercise caution.
Snow showers are expected this afternoon, with a 30% chance of precipitation. Tuesday brings a similar forecast, with increasing chances of snow after 1 p.m. Temperatures will remain below freezing, with highs near 34 today and 29 tomorrow.
