GRAND RAPIDS (WKZO) Some meteorologists are calling it a third wave of cold air, others are calling it the Polar Vortex revisited as the Jet stream has set up south of the Great Lakes Region and we could be back down to 12-below early Friday morning.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Janis Laurens, at the Grand Rapids station, says a Winter weather advisory is in effect along the Lakeshore including Kalamazoo County through Thursday evening.
That’s when it will turn dangerously cold. He says Kalamazoo won’t get slammed as hard as Allegan, Van Buren or Berrien County but we could get half a foot of snow out of this system.
He says all of their long range forecast show that this persistently colder than normal weather will stick around through the end of this month, or longer.
