WEST MICHIGAN — From Fox 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Cool and quiet conditions will prevail across West Michigan as Christmas Day will be dry from start to finish. There is the potential for icy travel conditions very early Friday morning as a system moves through the area. Even if there is a period of freezing rain, slightly warmer temperatures will allow the icy morning precipitation to change-over to mainly rain. Dry air returns for Saturday, with another round of rain likely developing later Saturday night into Sunday. At this point, Sunday's precipitation could be mostly rain, with highs back in the low 40s. Sharply colder air arrives later Sunday into Monday, with tumbling temperatures and rain changing to snow later Sunday night into Monday. This colder air will likely grip West Michigan through the end of next week. The colder air will come with periods of snow showers and highs in the 20s.
