WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: A major melt-down is on the horizon over the next couple of days as much milder air streams into West Michigan. This is quite a turn-around in our weather, after what has been a very cold month of February! In fact, Saturday marked 16 days in a row of below freezing temperatures in Grand Rapids; which was the 8th longest streak below freezing in February on record. High temperatures to start the week will reach the mid-upper 40s; with today likely the warmest day in West Michigan this year! High temperatures will likely remain above average for the rest of the month. No major storms are in sight for Southern Lower Michigan, though there is a chance of widespread precipitation Wednesday, with the chance of scattered rain showers in areas south of Grand Rapids; and the potential for slushy snow in areas to the north of Grand Rapids. Meteorological Spring arrives Saturday March 1. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
