WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Today the winter solstice arrived at 4:21 A.M. and we officially begin astronomical winter. We are gaining daylight now as we end December and begin 2025 in 10 days! But, its a cold second half of the weekend ahead, as clear skies will help drop temperatures into the single digits for inland communities overnight. Sunday afternoon won't be much better, topping out only in the middle 20s. We are expecting a warm up leading into Christmas and New Years. One blip in the warming trend Monday may bring some light rain/snow, but accumulations won't amount to much, nor major impacts to travel. Things look quiet Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with highs in the upper 30s! Temperatures building into the 40s (perhaps 50) by the end of Christmas Week look likely, too. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy and cold. Lows in the single digits! Winds east/southeast light.
SUNDAY: Morning sunshine, but increasing clouds and cold. Highs in the middle 20s. Winds south-southeast at 5 to 15 mph.
