The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: A few light showers or sprinkles are possible this morning as a quick moving clipper system and cold front move through the Great Lakes today. Better rain chances come Friday with another clipper, and this one has more moisture with it and rain totals could be anywhere from a quarter to a third of an inch. Temperatures remain above average through the rest of this week, with high temperatures in the mid/upper 50s and mornings in the mid/upper 30s. It will be breezy today with gusts that could top 35/40 mph, especially at the lakeshore. A sharply colder air mass is expected by Sunday, with the potential for slushy snowflakes to mix in with rain. The "average" first snow in Grand Rapids is November 8, so this would be right on schedule. Accumulations are possible. Even though there's no significant snow in the forecast anytime soon, the Odd-Even Parking Rules are now in effect in Grand Rapids.
