Morning temperatures just below freezing have crews applying material on state routes and targeted county locations, including bridge decks, hills, stops and curves. With temperatures expected to climb near 50 degrees, conditions should improve quickly throughout the day.
NWS Grand Rapids@NWSGrandRapids
Patchy freezing rain is possible overnight through Thursday morning. Temperatures will be marginal but if they drop to, or below, freezing then there is the potential for icing. The best chances for icing will be on bridges and overpasses. Roads may be slick so use caution

KCRC crews worked overnight clearing tree limbs and debris from Kent County roads following high winds. Crews will continue debris removal today under a High Wind Advisory. Mixed precipitation is expected through the day. Use caution and watch for large debris along commute.
NWS Grand Rapids@NWSGrandRapids
Wind gusts of 50-60 mph are likely from Thursday Night through Friday Evening. Scattered power outages are likely as tree limbs are downed, and unsecured objects may be blown around. Secure outdoor items and use caution when driving.

Showers and thunderstorms are possible later Friday into Saturday as a warm front moves through. KCRC crews will monitor conditions and respond to debris or ponding if needed. Drivers should watch for changing conditions and use caution.
NWS Grand Rapids@NWSGrandRapids
Several rounds of storms expected tomorrow into early Saturday. Some of those storms could be strong to severe. One round Friday afternoon and evening, another overnight into Saturday. Damaging winds, and hail are the main threats though a few brief, weak tornadoes are possible.

About 1" snow fell overnight. KCRC night crews addressed state roads, moved to county primaries early this morning. Day crews continuing on local roads, treating hills, stops and curves. Highs near 30° drop to mid 20s. Watch for scattered icy spots and adjust speeds as needed.

KCRC continues storm clean-up today but primary focus in neighborhood areas will shift to Tuesday, when temperatures are expected to reach near 40 degrees. Waiting helps avoid filling driveways more than once and provides ideal conditions to scrape, remove remaining snow.
English
Icy spots persist this morning as freezing rain overnight transitioned to snow, tapering off this afternoon. Allow extra time and reduce speeds. Temps near 35° today fall to single digits overnight, with wind gusts up to 40 mph later today. Crews targeting one pass of network.
English
It’s Groundhog Day, and light snow might not be the sign anyone was hoping for. Snow totals should stay around ½ inch or less with temps reaching high 20s. Crews are treating roads with liquid deicer and salt/sand today. Watch for slick spots, reduce speeds when needed.
English
Perfect addition to TGIF!

@MIKCRC Thank you so much for the sunshine. That’s the dance we ALL wanted
English
Light snow overnight, early morning temps near 0 degrees rise to low teens today. Light wind reduces blowing but drifting remains possible. Sunshine developing later this morning should help improve conditions. Icy stretches will persist given temps. KCRC continues response.
English
Wind chills make it feel below zero again. Snowfall is expected to be limited, allowing crews to focus on breaking up hard-packed snow. Crews will apply liquid deicing on state routes & pre-wet sand/salt on county hills, curves, stops. Icy spots persist; drive for conditions.
English
Thank you to motorists driving for conditions as extreme cold continues. With the wind chill, "feels like" temps dip below zero - temp hover in the teens. Snowfall is easing, with 1–2" possible locally. Slick areas and hard-packed snow remain. Allow extra time, give plows room.
English
Snow showers, blowing snow, and very cold temperatures are making for challenging commutes. Motorists encouraged to be strategic with time and number of trips today. Be strategic with trip timing and routes, monitor changing conditions, allow extra travel time for travel.
NWS Grand Rapids@NWSGrandRapids
The morning commute is significantly impacted by snow and blowing snow, especially for Kent, Allegan, and Barry counties. Make sure to give yourself extra time to drive to your destination if you have to drive. #wmiwx

Good news: temps may reach the low 20s by the weekend. The challenge: it’s only Monday.
Temps reach teens today, with lingering light snow possible, mainly west of US-131. Roads are generally stable. Low temps=patches "bare" pavement likely have thin layer of ice.
English
Wind chills will feel below zero at times. Light snow is falling, with an inch or less expected. Conditions remain similar to Saturday, but new slippery spots are possible. Slow down, increase following distance, and carry an emergency kit.
