The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued Winter Weather Advisories for Ottawa, Allegan, and Van Buren counties as West Michigan braces for another round of significant lake-effect snow on Monday. This storm is expected to deliver locally heavy snowfall, which may affect the morning commute, particularly along the lakeshore.
Following several snow days last week due to frigid temperatures and heavy snowfall, students across West Michigan are left wondering if they will start the week with additional school closures. The 13 ON YOUR SIDE Weather Impact Team has issued a 13 Weather Impact Alert in anticipation of the storm’s effects, which will be most pronounced during the morning hours on Monday.
The alert begins at midnight Sunday and will remain in effect until 3 p.m. on Monday, with the heaviest snow expected during the peak travel times in the morning. The winter weather conditions are likely to lead to challenging travel and could result in further disruptions for local schools.
As the region continues to deal with winter weather, the community is encouraged to stay informed and take precautions while navigating snowy conditions. Despite the challenges posed by the heavy snow, there is optimism that the community will work together to manage the impact effectively.
