Snow could be returning to Southwest Michigan this weekend.

National Weather Service meteorologist Nathan Marsili tells us it’s expected to rain Saturday and Sunday, and that rain could turn into snow on Sunday. Will there be lake effect?

“Looks like a good chance,” Marsili said. “There’s still some uncertainty on exact favored locations, but confidence continues to increase in lake effect snow there, especially a couple around maybe later Sunday afternoon, early evening, and then period we’re more concerned about is late Sunday night into Monday, where that could have more of a travel impact.”

Marsili says the ground may still be too warm for some of that snow to stick around, but if the lake effect snow materializes, there could be a fair amount.

“There could be several inches. Just trying to narrow that down at this time is a little difficult, but there is a potential of that, especially if a band can stay anchored in one place for an amount of time there late Sunday night into Monday morning.”

Marsili says the other story is the cold. He says wind chills could get into the teens on Sunday and Monday.

If it starts snowing, remember to give yourself extra travel time, drive slowly, and bundle up.
