The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: We broke record highs temperatures in some spots on Wednesday. Today, we'll hang onto the unseasonably mild air for one more day! Patchy dense fog is possible in Mecosta and Montcalm counties through 7 AM with a DENSE FOG ADVISORY in place until then. A few more rain showers and rumbles of thunder are likely this evening/night as a secondary low pressure system arrives. In fact, we could see a few showers this afternoon, especially south/east of Grand Rapids. Rain transitions to a wintry mix and then all snow showers as temperatures fall on Friday into the lower/mid 40s. Little/no accumulation is expected. we'll see cooler temperatures by the weekend with highs falling back into the 30s and some lake effect snow showers possible...especially on Sunday.
