WEST MICHIGAN — WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Anthony Domol: High pressure will slide across the area tonight, leading to clear skies, light winds, and colder temperatures. Overnight lows, however, will still be slightly above average for this time of year. As that high moves east of us tomorrow, expect a mild southerly flow to boost our high temperatures to unseasonably warm levels. We are still watching for a potential winter storm this weekend, but at this point in time it appears the storm will track far enough north that only our northernmost communities (well north of I-96 for the most part) are under the gun for big snowfall accumulations. It looks like rain or a rain-snow mix will dominate around Grand Rapids and points to the south. Eventually a changeover to all snow will occur locally in Grand Rapids with the best chance for any accumulations occurring Saturday evening. The track of this system is still changing, so stay tuned to FOX 17 for updates.
