Race Day Live West Michigan is getting a break after one of the coldest Arctic air blasts in six years, with over 20 inches of snow in some areas.
The last week of January will be calmer, with only light snow and milder temperatures expected.
Three Canadian clipper systems will bring light snow to the region this week. The first system arrives tonight, likely leaving less than an inch of snow.
Another will pass Monday night into Tuesday, also bringing light snow. The final clipper system comes on Wednesday, possibly adding a bit more snow.
Overall, snow totals are expected to stay between 1 and 4 inches, depending on the area.
Temperatures this week will range from the mid-20s to mid-30s. This means there won’t be heavy lake-effect snow, which often depends on colder temperatures.
A European forecast model shows the heaviest snow will fall in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, not in West Michigan.
