More than 4 million people across five states were under winter storm alerts on Sunday as heavy lake-effect snow continued to bury the Great Lakes region, prompting emergency declarations and the deployment of National Guard troops to rescue stranded motorists.

While West Michigan as a whole will see some general snow amounts of 1 to 4 inches on Monday, the trio of counties under the warning could see heavy snow totaling 8 to 12 inches. The biggest accumulations are expected west of Kalamazoo and south of Holland. This snowfall would impact both the I-96 and I-94 corridors.
