WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Cloud cover is on the increase across West Michigan tonight due to an approaching cold front. A weak cold front will slide across the lower peninsula on Wednesday morning, bringing scattered light snow showers. Any accumulation will be minor, with most locations picking up between 1" to 2" at most. Snow will quickly melt by Wednesday afternoon and evening when sunshine and warmer air returns. Dry skies will extend through the majority of Thursday until our next larger system arrives. Widespread rain showers, strong winds, and warm temperatures push into the region overnight Thursday into Friday. Thunderstorms could be on the strong side late Friday, along with high temperatures making a run at 60 degrees. Saturday colder air wraps around this system transitioning rain over to snow showers.
