The National Weather Service has fine-tuned their initial winter storm watch area issued yesterday. Most of the winter storm watch area has now become either a winter storm warning or a winter weather advisory. Here is the current alignment of winter storm warnings, winter weather advisories and even still a small area of a winter storm watch.

Colder temperatures are in store for southeast Michigan as a surge of arctic air reaches the region, according to the National Weather Service. The weather service on Tuesday issued a winter storm watch for a portion of southwest Michigan and counties around Grand Rapids warning of snow accumulations as high as 6 and 14 inches, respectively.

A winter storm watch is in effect Tuesday evening through Thursday evening from Charlevoix County south for counties along/west of US-131.
