The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: We've seen a steady 1" to 2" of snow inland and up to 4" along the lakeshore Thursday. Thankfully, this system is exiting overnight, allowing for safer travel conditions and even some warmer air for Friday. Pairing some sunshine with a strong south wind, highs Friday afternoon will reach the middle to upper 30s! Enjoy it while it lasts, because another true Arctic blast is on the way starting Saturday. A cold front will move through in the morning, bringing the chance of mix/snow showers, then rapidly falling temperatures through Sunday morning. Highs Monday and Tuesday will be in the single digits and wind chill well below zero with consistent lake effect snow! Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the lower 20s. Winds west/south at 5 to 10 mph.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny, breezy, and mild. Highs in the middle 30s. Winds south-southwest at 10 to 20 mph. Gusts to 35 mph. Expect snow to melt steadily in the afternoon.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain/snow showers, with steadier precipitation south/east of Grand Rapids. Highs in the lower 30s early, but falling through the day as Arctic air arrives.
SUNDAY: Another blast of Arctic air arrives! This will be the coldest air of the season thus far. Mostly cloudy with a chance of lake effect snow showers. Highs in the teens. Winds chills below zero.
MONDAY: Arctic air infiltrates the Great Lakes and much of the country. Mostly cloudy and bitterly cold with lake effect snow showers likely. Highs only in the single digits with wind chills in the double digits below zero.
