WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Isabella Hulsizer: A strong cold front is moving through this evening, forcing a pattern change with a few light scattered rain showers possible overnight, tonight. Behind this cold front brings high temperatures only in the 40s and 30s, which will be the coldest air of the season thus far. Along with the cold Canadian air comes the chance for lake effect snow in West Michigan. Precipitation transitions from rain to snow on Saturday and remaining primarily snow Saturday night through Sunday. Minor snow accumulations will be possible mostly along and west of U.S. 131, with a slushy mix expected on the roadways. Preliminarily, we think one to three inches may fall in these areas. Watch out on bridges and overpasses, as they freeze first. Daytime high temperatures remain in the upper 30s next Monday and Tuesday with wintry mix chances returning on Wednesday. Another system is set to move in middle to the end of next week bringing more chances for snowfall. Get more by downloading the free FOX 17 Weather App.
