WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Lake effect snow showers finally come to a close today. Records with this snowfall have been shattered. Snowfall daily totals have exceeded 7 inches in many area, and our November snowfall total so far has already climbed to 27.3 inches. Cloud cover will begin to diminish today, leaving us with partly cloudy skies overnight, tonight. Warmer air sets in to start the work week off. A thaw kicks off tomorrow as temperatures rise to the upper 30s and lower 40s, which will encourage some melting of that newly fallen snow. Partly cloudy skies dominate the first half of the week, but clouds begin to bulk up by Thanksgiving. There's a chance for a few showers on Thanksgiving as a system sets up for the end of the week. Warmer air and the disturbance could bring chances of a rain / snow mix by Friday and Saturday. Download the free FOX 17 Weather App for the latest forecast video.
