This map shows where there was snow on the ground Thursday. You can see the snow on the ground from southern Texas to eastern North Carolina. A significant strip of +4” is visible from Louisiana to Georgia. There was more snow on the ground in Florida than there was in Iowa or southern Wisconsin. You can also see the snow left from the storm last week that moved east from Kansas to New England. We have snow on the ground in West Michigan, but none across the lake in eastern Wisconsin.

A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the lakeshore counties and the next set of counties inland from the lake (Kalamazoo, Barry, Kent, Newaygo and Lake). The Watch will be in effect from Tuesday evening (this evening) through Thursday evening. A total of 4-12″ of snow is possible. Fairly strong winds will accompany the snow and that means we’ll have drifting and even some blowing snow.

It's the first Friday of the month, so some counties (inc. Kent) will be testing their tornado sirens. Usually, the first Friday siren test is at noon. The June test marked the start of Festival Weekend in Grand Rapids. Festival of the Arts was a fun event. I emceed stages at https://t.co/KnAK11jyrm
RT @mackinacbridge: Unfortunately, what you're seeing today is not fog surrounding the @mackinacbridge but smoke coming from the wildfires…
