The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Reece Cole: Expect clearing skies into Thursday with morning sunshine and lows near freezing. Thursday afternoon, clouds increase with highs in the low 50s. Friday brings another clipper, and this one has more moisture so expect a decent quarter to third of an inch Friday morning. Highs Saturday are only in the middle 40s ahead of an approaching low. This brings a sharply colder air mass 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.
