A small disturbance will bring a new round of snow showers to our neighborhoods this evening as it tracks southeast through the Great Lakes. Light to moderate snow may even become steady at times between 8:00 PM and midnight, tapering off gradually into Wednesday morning. Most locations will pick around 1" of new snow overnight, with lows falling to around 20 degrees.
New Year's Eve starts off with a break from the snow during the morning, but it will be brief. An approaching cold front will begin to push another round of snow showers in from the northwest around noon, becoming a widespread steady snow in most neighborhoods between 1:00 and 4:00 PM. With the cold front sweeping southeast of the region, snow showers will gradually taper off through the remainder of Wednesday evening. Highs will hold in the mid 20s once again, with increasing winds forcing wind chills back into the teens and single-digits.
Expect slippery road conditions in the evening as you head out to your New Year's Eve destination, but snow showers are expected to end by midnight when we ring in 2026. Partly to mostly cloudy skies will take over for the remainder of Wednesday night, allowing temperatures to take a sharp dip toward the upper single-digits.
Combined snowfall amounts between tonight and Wednesday will generally come in around 1-2" in most of our neighborhoods. Locations west of I-69 in parts of Barry and Calhoun Counties will pick up closer to 2-4" overall thanks to a bit some enhancement off of Lake Michigan.

From there, we settle into a quiet start to 2026 on Thursday. It will be a cold day with highs only climbing to around 20 degrees, but New Year's Day will see a break from the snow under mostly cloudy skies. Aside from a brief chance for more snow showers Saturday night, we expect that quiet weather to continue through Monday as high gradually tick up through the 20s toward the low 30s.
