Lake Effect Snow Will Reach Battle Creek

Lake Effect Snow Will Reach Battle Creek

This photo serves as a reminder of the kind of conditions in the area last winter. It's not clear yet if this winter will be as snowy, but forecasters say our first measurable snow will stick this week in Battle Creek. Photo by WBCK-Townsquare Media.

West Michigan may have dodged the big snow bullet, which has hit the UP, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

But, once the lake effect winds kick up today and into early Thursday, Battle Creek won't escape an early, measurable snowfall.

The National Weather Service (NWS) forecast suggests as much as 5 inches of snow could be on the ground by the Friday morning commute. The forecast suggests, though, the pace of the snowfall will be slower than at points closer to the lakeshore.

For example, the NWS has posted a Winter Weather Advisory for Kalamazoo County and those to the west, where snowfall totals will be somewhere between 5 and 9 inches by Friday morning. Those totals could be more at points further west.

Are you looking forward to snow…or next spring?!
