The forecast from FOX17 Meteorologist Kara James: It's finally feeling like November across West Michigan thanks to a cold storm system tracking through the region over the next couple of days. 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 lingering even after the cold low departs tomorrow, and will bring isolated lakeshore showers Friday and Saturday. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
