GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Widespread showers and freezing rain moved into West Michigan Monday. While most saw melt immediately after, Newaygo, Montcalm and Mecosta Counties will have to watch for a few more power outage possibilities before the night is done.

As of Monday evening, most Winter Weather Advisories have expired. Mecosta, Montcalm, and Newaygo Counties will still be in effect through 8 p.m.

This ice storm could have been even more widespread if temperatures hadn’t warmed through the day.

For areas north of a line from Newaygo to Greenville, temperatures will fall below freezing all night. This could allow a few more outages to pop up. It’s in this area where the most serious impacts are expected.
