Hydrologic Outlook
ESFGRR Steady melting of snow and ice over the last week has begun to cause rivers to rise across the area. Several chances for rain this week will add to these rises. Based on current expected rainfall, no significant flooding is expected on West Michigan rivers, though typical spring water level rises within the river channels will happen. Meanwhile, river ice has weakened significantly over the last week, and as water levels rise any remaining ice will likely be broken and start to move downstream. This creates the possibility for formation of a few ice jams. Ice jams tend to form in the same places repeatedly, so special attention should be paid in the Comstock Park (Kent County) area as well as the Robinson Township (Ottawa County) area along the Grand River. Anyone living or working near West Michigan rivers should pay extra attention this week as water levels rise. Have a plan to monitor and respond if flooding develops unexpectedly.

Winter Weather Advisory
* WHAT...Areas of Freezing Drizzle. Ice accumulations of a light glaze. * WHERE...Portions of central, south central, southwest, and west central Michigan. * WHEN...Until 7 PM EST this evening. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions.

Keep up with the forecast at weather.gov/grr and check road conditions at mdotjboss.state.mi.us/MiDrive/map
Winter Weather Advisory
* WHAT...Freezing drizzle with ice accumulation of a glaze. * WHERE...Portions of northern Indiana, southwest Michigan, and northwest Ohio. * WHEN...Until 4 PM EST this afternoon. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Leave plenty of following distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A mix of snow and freezing drizzle will continue to change over to mainly freezing drizzle. Freezing drizzle and temperatures in the low to mid 20s will lead to slick and hazardous roads.
Special Weather Statement
Patchy freezing drizzle will continue through early afternoon before dissipating. The combination of this patchy freezing drizzle and temperatures in the low to mid 20s will lead to slick spots on roadways. Motorists should be prepared for variable road conditions into this afternoon due to the potential of a glaze of ice accumulation. Use caution while driving. Slow down and leave more space between you and the driver in front of you.

Special Weather Statement
Southwest winds will strengthen tonight with gusts of 30 to 35 expected from late tonight through Tuesday afternoon. Winds will shift to the west Tuesday morning.

Motorists should be prepared for rapid changes in road conditions across short distances due to the drifting snow potential. In addition, bitterly cold wind chills as cold as 15 to 25 below can be expected tonight into Tuesday morning. Wind gusts will begin to subside Tuesday evening.

Hydrologic Outlook
ESFGRR Bitterly cold temperatures moving into Michigan over the next few days will increase the risk of ice jams on rivers. While many locations have already frozen over, ongoing ice growth will continue to increase in any open water areas. These temperatures have not been seen for many years in West Michigan, which means that some areas that don't typically experience river ice jams may have issues this year. Ice jams can result in water levels rising much more quickly than usual, which can catch people off guard. Anyone living or working near rivers in West Michigan should prepare now for potential river ice and rising water levels. While temperatures warm up a bit early next week, this overall cold weather pattern will continue through at least next week, which will keep ice locked in place on the rivers.
