The last of the snow showers and flurries will taper off this Tuesday AM and we should see some sunshine today (especially inland). Temperatures will remain cooler than average – in the mid 30s during the afternoon.
Forecast snowfall in West Michigan.
The above map was the G.R. NWS forecast snowfall totals and this worked out pretty good. Greenville and Ravenna picked up around 5″. I’ve got 4-5″ at my place in Alpine Township.
The system weakens as it comes east into Lower Michigan. The Grand Rapids National Weather Service says: “THE MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN PAINTING A BROAD TOTAL PRECIPITATION FORECAST IN THE TENTH TO QUARTER INCH RANGE RESULTING IN A 1-3 INCH SNOWFALL ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA, WITH AN ENHANCED 2-4 INCHES IN A BAND STRETCHING FROM NEAR HART SOUTHEAST TO LANSING. IT’S WORTH NOTING THAT THE WAVE WEAKENS AS IT MOVES THROUGH, SO THIS SHOULDN’T BE TOO BIG OF A DEAL, BUT MAY CAUSE A SLOWER MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE.”
