WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: We are tracking a system that will bring widespread accumulating snow late tonight and on Friday, impacting the morning and evening commutes. Indications are that our southern counties will see the least amount of snow of only an inch or two (south of I-94), but the heart of our FOX 17 viewing area will be on the order of 3" to 6". The latest forecast models show the heaviest swath of snow along I-96, where 4" to 7" of snow will be possible, which includes Grand Rapids. Isolated higher amounts will be possible with this system. This snow will be a thick, heavy, and wet consistency and good packing. For more information on Friday's system, click here. Plan on partly cloudy skies and dry conditions this weekend. The chance of rain returns next Tuesday. Stay alert with the FOX 17 Weather Team.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy this evening, becoming cloudy overnight with snow developing late. Lows in the middle 20s. Winds northeast/east at 5 to 10 mph.

FRIDAY: Cloudy with snow likely. Moderate to heavy at times, primarily along I-96. Some rain may mix in across our southern counties. Highs in the middle 30s. Winds southeast/northeast at 10 to 15 mph.

SATURDAY: Partly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs in the mid/upper 30s.

SUNDAY: Morning sunshine, but increasing clouds through the day. A bit warmer. Highs in the lower 40s.

MONDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy, windy, and warmer. Highs in the lower 50s.
