A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Clare, Lake, and Osceola counties until Friday, Nov. 28, at 7:00 a.m. 

According to NWS Grand Rapids, a wintry mix will likely transition into snow late Wednesday night. A sharp cold front will also make its way across Lake Michigan  Wednesday night into Thursday morning, causing temperatures to drop into the 20's and 30's through the weekend.

Up to seven inches of heavy snow will be possible Thanksgiving day through the weekend. A light glaze of ice and stronger wind gusts of up to 45 miles per hour will be possible with this system.

Travelling may become dangerous due to slick roads and low road visability between Wednesday evening through Friday morning. Please be advised if you plan to travel for Thanksgiving.
