The forecast from FOX17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: It's finally going to start feeling like November across West Michigan as a storm system tracks through the region over the next couple of days. Today will be breezy and much cooler, with a few rain showers. After highs in the low 60s on Tuesday, afternoon temperatures will drop into the low/mid this afternoon. The first snowflakes of the season will likely fall tonight into tomorrow morning as colder air will change the rain to a rain-snow mix. Thursday morning's commute may feature slippery conditions, with snow showers and morning temperatures near freezing. Snowfall amounts will depend upon your location, but there certainly is the potential for accumulations on grassy surfaces. In fact, we could see some slushy accumulations even on the pavement with about 1" to 3" expected. Lake Effect moisture will be the main reason for precipitation Friday and Saturday, although staying mostly rain showers. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
