WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: A light rain/snow mix is possible tonight, but any precipitation will be light and mostly rain as temperatures remain above freezing and the cool air is in Northern Michigan. Moments of sunshine are possible on Wednesday but will return to mostly cloudy on Thursday ahead of a bigger system. This will be our best chance for more widespread rain/snow showers. The system is arriving from the southwest late Thursday night into Friday. It's possible we could see some accumulating snow from this one, but the exact track, timing, and temperature profile as we draw closer will be factors in that and may change. Early indications are that temperatures are expected to remain near normal through mid-December and perhaps leading up to Christmas. We haven't seen measurable snowfall since November 20th! That means a "white Christmas" may be difficult unless the pattern shifts to something colder. Make sure to stay up on later forecasts! Stay with the FOX 17 Weather Team.
