WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: After some beautiful sunshine today, get ready for the pattern to change back to cloudy, colder, with increasing snow chances! Tonight will be cloudy with patchy dense fog developing after midnight. The next system will move through tomorrow, producing an area of light rain changing to snow early tomorrow morning, switching to primarily light snow through the afternoon and evening. Accumulations will be on the lower side, around 1-2", but there could be slippery spots on the roads even with a light coating of snow. The best chance for any precipitation will be in areas south of the I-96 corridor. An area of light snow is possible for New Year's Eve night into early New Year's Day. The biggest weather story unfolding is a huge shift in the weather pattern, bringing in a return to sharply colder air and periods of snow as we kick off 2025! If you are a winter weather lover, the pattern is showing signs of a continued cold pattern through at least the middle of January. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
