Grand Rapids, MI – Snow showers will taper off today in southwest Michigan, but temperatures remain dangerously cold, with wind chills near zero. Drivers east of US-131 should prepare for slippery road conditions this morning.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow will continue until early afternoon, leaving roads icy and visibility low. Northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph will create wind chills as low as -5°F. Saturday’s high will barely reach 22°F, while tonight’s low dips to 17°F.
Sunday brings mostly cloudy skies with slightly warmer highs near 25°F. Northwest winds will ease to 5 mph, providing some relief from wind chill. Monday and Tuesday remain cold but dry, with sunny skies and highs of 26°F and 27°F, respectively.
