WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Anthony Domol: We kick off Friday dry before a stronger system is on target to bring mainly rain for late tomorrow afternoon/evening and continue overnight. We expect about an inch of rainfall before we transition to flurries and snow showers Saturday afternoon/evening. This system will likely produce temperatures briefly warmer early on Saturday morning in the 50s, before falling the remainder of the day. It is also expected to generate wind gusts of between 40 and 55 mph with the core of the strongest winds coming through Saturday mid-late morning and early afternoon. Once we get beyond the next couple of days, above normal temperatures will be the main player over the next 7-14 days! At this point, we have at least a 90 percent chance of above normal temperatures leading almost up to Christmas. That said, it will be difficult to get accumulating snow during this time frame. It continues to look more and more like the possibility of a "green" Christmas, but stay up on later forecasts!
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy cloudy. Lows around 30. Winds southeast/southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
TOMORROW: Partly sunny in the morning. Increasing afternoon clouds with rain developing during the early evening. Breezy too. Highs in the low/mid 40s. East northeast winds at 5-15 mph.
