Happy Wednesday! With St Patrick’s day around the corner it is time to make plans if you plan on having some of that green beer or green plant! Make sure you have a plan to get home without having to get behind the wheel. If you get caught you will be paying the green!
Very rainy late Thurs into Fri morning, then lake effect snow will take over into Sat. Windy and much colder Sat, there could be travel impacts along and west of US-131 so stay weather aware.
**UPDATE**
All lanes of W. Kalamazoo Avenue are back open. Thank you for your patience!

A decent amount of rain will hit the Kalamazoo area on Thurs, then followed by falling temps and lake effect snow for Fri into Sat. There could be travel impacts on Fri so stay weather aware.
Don’t forget to move your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night for Daylight Savings! This is also a great time to replace batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors!

Impactful winter weather arrives Thursday overnight into Friday with accumulating snow. The Friday morning commute will be messy with heavy snow falling around that time. Plan ahead and stay weather aware.

"Severe Weather Awareness Week will be held March 19-25, with the Statewide Tornado Drill being conducted on March 22 at 1 p.m. We hope the tornado drill begins a broader conversation about emergency preparedness."
