While travel impacts will be light during the day Sunday with highs nearing 30, slick roads are likely where snow continues to fall after dark.

The placement of lake-effect bands Sunday night into Monday is hard to forecast with much certainty. While it’s likely to be south and west of Grand Rapids, there will likely be sharp cutoffs. Heavy snowfall rates will be possible under those bands.

As winds shift slightly northerly into the day Monday, the heaviest lake-effect may migrate closer to the lakeshore. Still, heavy snowfall rates will be possible there at times through the day.

The snowfall forecast for this event is tricky as well, because of lingering uncertainty with regard to the placement of heaviest lake-effect bands. Still, that is most likely south and west of Grand Rapids. Between US-31 and US-131, 2 or more inches of fresh snow is likely by late Monday.
