Another cold front will move across Michigan tonight and tomorrow. Several areas will receive heavy lake-effect snow tonight through midday Tuesday.
Southwest and west-central Lower Michigan will be under a winter weather advisory from 7 p.m. tonight to 1 a.m. Wednesday.
There is an interesting weather pattern over southwest and south-central Lower Michigan. A “convergence zone” will form along the I-94 corridor between Kalamazoo and Jackson. The radar forecast from our best lake-effect snow model demonstrates what I mean.
A convergence zone occurs when cold air flows around the south end of Lake Michigan before blowing back northeast into southern Michigan.
At the same time, the wind will be blowing from the northwest across central Lower Michigan. This means the two airflows will collide, resulting in rising air and precipitation.
Tonight’s radar forecast shows an increase in snow in southwest and south-central Lower Michigan, as well as northwest Lower Michigan. The lake-effect snowbands will dissipate over southern Lower Michigan by Tuesday afternoon.
Here is the forecast for additional snowfall through Wednesday morning.
