Grand Rapids, Michigan – Snow-covered roads and reduced visibility will continue to impact much of western and central Michigan through Sunday afternoon as another round of accumulating snow moves back into the region tonight.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, snow will persist across the area this afternoon before a brief lull Saturday evening. Snow then redevelops overnight and continues through Sunday morning, gradually tapering off Sunday afternoon. The highest snowfall totals are expected northwest of a Muskegon-to-Clare line, where several inches of accumulation will make travel increasingly hazardous.
Most of western Michigan, including Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Big Rapids, Alma, and Ludington, can expect widespread snow totals of 2 to 4 inches. Areas farther northwest, including portions of Mason, Lake, and Oceana counties, are most likely to see 3 to 5 inches, with isolated totals of 6 inches or more possible. Farther southeast toward Lansing, Jackson, and Flint, snowfall amounts will be lower, with some periods of mixing possible.
Snow showers are expected to continue into Sunday morning, with slick roads, limited visibility, and slow travel likely during peak weekend travel times. Bridges, overpasses, and untreated roads will be especially dangerous.
Drivers are urged to slow down, allow extra stopping distance, and avoid unnecessary travel during heavier snow. Conditions should gradually improve late Sunday afternoon, though lingering slick spots may persist into Sunday evening as temperatures remain cold.
