WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Anthony Domol: Clouds return to West Michigan tonight, all thanks to an approaching weak cold front. Expect a good deal of cloud cover on Tuesday with a few sprinkles or at worst a light shower through the afternoon. Better precipitation chances return Thursday as a strong fall storm tracks into the Upper Midwest. We expect significant wind, rain, and sharply colder air. This could potentially bring a round of accumulating lake-effect snow by the weekend too, perhaps turning the ground white in several locations. Make sure to stay up on later forecasts as we draw closer to the arrival of this system.
