WEST MICHIGAN — December 2023 will go down as very mild and not at all snowy, compared to years past. So far this December, we've picked up 1.3 inches of snow at the Gerald R. Ford Airport, where measurements are taken.
In terms of Decembers, 1.3 inches of snow would situation 2023 as #2 for the least snowy December on record. Rivaling at #1 is December 2014 where Grand Rapids only received 1 inch of snow.
This ranking could change with a last ditch effort provided by light snow and rain showers expected on Sunday. Accumulations aren't expected today, so it's more likely that 2023 will keep the title of #2.
Snow showers are expected to arrive in West Michigan right away on Sunday morning and persist through the day. With temperatures rising to the upper 30s today, it'll be possible for a few rain showers to be mixed in.
Snow showers will filter out as we move through the afternoon, shifting farther south.
When it comes to total accumulation, we expect less than an inch in all of our communities. There's also a chance for rain accumulation. Ice accumulation is not expected at this time.
Stay up to date with future forecasts as some of these snowfall totals could change!
