Lake-effect snow will be the focus of the forecast over the next week around West Michigan.
Snow showers will affect areas along US-31 and west of a line from around Muskegon to Kalamazoo during the day Friday. By this evening, that snow will become heavier and more concentrated right along the lakeshore, west of M-40 and along US-31 in Mason and Oceana counties.
There will probably be a few hours here and there where the main band shifts offshore and miss most of us, so don't be surprised if there are lulls in the heavy snow, even in those really hard-hit areas.
Snow will continue to pile up Saturday and Sunday, although it won't be quite as heavy.
By the time we get to late Saturday, we're looking at some really big numbers for lakeshore areas south of Holland:

Notice that I haven't put a top end on the highest numbers in the heaviest snow band. That's because there aren't any numbers that would surprise me! We could easily get a few reports of 18-24" in spots by the end of the weekend.
Be safe and stay warm!
