Winter weather got a late start this season with most of West Michigan receiving less than 30 inches of snow so far.  But that could change this weekend as another storm system moves into the midwest.

It's still a little early to tell what the full impact of the storm will be, but there will be snow and a wintry mix starting on Friday evening and lasting through the weekend.

We've checked as many forecasts as we could and the storm could bring between 6-12" of snow, or it could just be very wet and a wintery mix.  It all kind of depends on what the actual temperature will be Friday night and Saturday during the day.

Here are a few forecasts as of 8 am on January 15th:

So, in all honesty, who the heck knows what kind of storm is gonna hit us this weekend.  It will probably be a big nothing-burger again like last weekend, but if we do get a bad one, be safe and stay warm.
