Grand Rapids, MI – Residents across Michigan should prepare for a cold start to the week, with snow showers and freezing temperatures likely to impact travel and daily routines. Monday begins mostly cloudy, with highs near 26 degrees, while scattered snow showers may develop midweek, especially near Ludington and along Highway 131.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will remain in the 20s throughout the week, with northwest winds at 6 to 8 mph making it feel even colder. On Wednesday, a 50% chance of snow showers could create slippery conditions, particularly for commuters. Residents in affected areas are encouraged to plan extra travel time and check road conditions regularly.
The extended forecast shows partly sunny skies for Tuesday with highs near 29, offering a brief break from the snow. However, by Wednesday night, accumulating snow may become a concern across Grand Rapids and surrounding areas, with lows dropping to 13 degrees. Drivers should remain cautious as snow and ice could lead to hazardous roadways.
Thursday offers some relief with partly sunny conditions and highs near 27. Friday and Saturday, however, bring renewed chances of snow showers as the area remains locked in a winter pattern.
For those traveling this week, especially along Highway 131 and near Ludington, pack emergency kits, ensure tires are winter-ready, and monitor forecasts closely. Stay indoors when possible to avoid prolonged exposure to freezing conditions.
