WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: A few flurries will be possible on Monday as well, especially west of U.S.-131 in the morning. Snow accumulations are expected to remain light to start the week, and should be completely dry by Monday afternoon. There will be a few breaks in the clouds Monday afternoon, but more abundant sunshine is in store Tuesday through the end of the week! Winds will continue to be breezy over the next few days as well, gusting up to 20 mph out of the west/northwest on Monday and 25 mph on Tuesday. The mid week sunshine will warm us back up into the mid 40s by Thursday and stay there! Longer range forecast models and trends indicate we have better than average chances of above normal temperatures right before Christmas. Unless this pattern breaks down, it may be difficult to get a white Christmas, so make sure to stay up on later forecasts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy to partly cloudy. A few lake effect flurries possible. Lows in the upper 20s. Winds north-northwest at 5 to 15 mph.
