WINTER STORM WARNING thru 1 p.m. Wednesday

SYNOPSIS   Light to occasionally moderate snow will continue through this evening with additional accumulations (from 3:15 PM to 7 AM tomorrow) of 1-3" north of Muskegon, 3-6" to the south with the highest accumulations south of a line from  Holland to Flint.

Drifting snow may becoming a big issue, especially in outlying areas.  The wind will be out of the northeast and will increase to between 15 and 25 mph. The wind shifts will eventually shift from northeast to the north, but will stay fairly strong through the day Wednesday, acting to drift the fallen snow.

Once the storm passes, the week will close on a rather calm note with partly to variably cloudy skies, and a chance for occasional flurries. We'll have Team Coverage for you throughout the day on WOOD, TV-8.
