by Ben Kouchnerkavich

Holland, Mich.--A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the Holland area until noon on Friday. We saw snow across the area this morning through the early afternoon hours, with a report sent in to the National Weather Service indicating 3 inches of snow had fallen. At 3 PM Thursday afternoon, the precipitation had become rain in Holland, with a temperature around 35 degrees. The heaviest snow is expected to come in a 12-hour window between 5 PM late this afternoon and 5 AM on Friday morning. The forecast from HNT-Daily forecaster Ben Kouchnerkavich calls for 4-6” of snow to fall in the Holland area during this time, with the heaviest snow accumulations (on the order of up to a foot) occurring in areas further north, like Big Rapids and Mount Pleasant.
