WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Light lake effect lingers over West Michigan tonight. Expect clouds to begin breaking up overnight with temperatures falling to the lower 20s. There are indications that we could start seeing a pattern change next week. In fact, our team is tracking the potential of a much larger system arriving next Tuesday and Wednesday from the Texas panhandle. This storm will tap moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, but the exact track is not in stone, although forecast models take the low into Michigan. This system is expected to produce rain, snow, and strong winds. This system may be the precursor to a pattern change and sharply colder temperatures later next week. Make sure to stay updated on later forecasts as accumulations are possible.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of evening snow showers or flurries, otherwise decreasing clouds overnight. Lows in the lower 20s. Winds north at 5 to 10 mph.
