WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: More drizzle and light showers will continue tonight into Friday. Showers are expected to taper off late Friday afternoon. When the system is done, we expect around a quarter inch of rainfall in total. Saturday brings a mix of sun and clouds with high temperatures in the lower 40s. The best chance for some snow in West Michigan will be this upcoming Sunday, New Year's Eve. Snow accumulations don't look significant for travel impacts, as most of the region will pick up less than one inch. However, overnight lows below freezing could create slick spots on the roads. This December could land as the second least snowy on record. A drier start to the New Year is anticipated on Monday, with cooler air dropping in. Forecast models hint to the potential for some snow by next Wednesday and Thursday. Make sure to stay updated on later forecasts.
