Heavy lake-effect snow and plummeting temperatures are expected Sunday as the Arctic blast settles into West Michigan.

While we aren’t expected to shatter any records with regard to cold temperatures in the coming few days, the coldest arctic airmass to impact the Buffalo-Niagara region in years is here and will tighten its grip through midweek.

An Arctic blast is expected to bring West Michigan's coldest temperatures since 2019, along with heavy lake-effect snow in some areas.

Colder air is already arriving and will continue to funnel in through the day. This will provide frigid temperatures for our mornings to start the week and also help to keep temperatures below freezing through the afternoons.
