WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Much of our Saturday will be dry, with rain (or a wintry mix) arriving after sunset. Clouds will quickly thicken, with highs in the mid-40s. Rain or a wintry mix arrives Saturday evening, followed by sharply colder air for Sunday and Monday. Widespread rain-snow will wind down early Sunday, with colder air bringing the first round of Lake Effect Snow Showers for Sunday and Monday. Areas along and West of US-131 will have the best chance for accumulation, with portions of Western Allegan, Van Buren, Berrien and Cass counties likely receiving at least 1-3 inches of snow. The "average" first snow in Grand Rapids is November 8, so this would be right on schedule. Accumulations may be slushy, but are possible! What we actually measure may be different than what falls!
