The forecast from FOX 17Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: A weak system will pass through the region today with a light rain/snow mix, but it will bring some freezing rain and sleet too. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been issued for every West Michigan county through this evening. We could see an icy glaze of freezing rain and sleet along and south of I-96 with some light snow. North of I-96 could see 1" to 3" of new snow with some light mix at times. Areas that see heavier snowfall may be in store for a white Christmas, even with the warmth ahead the rest of the week. Weather conditions look to remain quiet Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with highs in the upper 30s! A bigger warming trend is on the horizon by the end of the week, with temperatures building into the 40s (perhaps 50) by the end of Christmas Week. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
