Southwestern Michigan – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Berrien, Cass, and St. Joseph counties through Sunday night. Snow showers and freezing conditions are forecast to intensify, creating hazardous road conditions, especially along I-94 and surrounding areas.
According to the National Weather Service, additional snow accumulations of up to 2 inches are expected Sunday evening into early Monday. Visibility could drop to less than a mile at times due to lake effect snow. Drivers should prepare for slick and untreated roads, particularly during the Monday morning commute.

The forecast for the coming days includes scattered snow showers on Monday, with a high of 32°F and lows dipping to the mid-20s. Conditions will remain cold and partly cloudy through midweek, with another chance of snow flurries Wednesday night.
