WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: A cold and quiet Tuesday is ahead, with partial sunshine and highs in the 20s. Some flurries south of I-94 are possible but will not bring any impacts. A stronger winter system is taking shape for mid-week as a low tracks out of the Great Plains with cold air and moisture. There is the potential of freezing rain Wednesday afternoon and overnight, changing to rain and snow into Thursday morning. The Wednesday evening and Thursday morning commutes could be impacted, with a glaze of ice up to a tenth of an inch possible. Friday will be a dry and quiet day, before another chance for snow showers moves in Saturday. So far in Grand Rapids this season, we've tallied 54.1" of snow. Normal totals for the entire season are around 77", so we are well on pace into the beginning of February. Colder air appears to be on tap later this week and into the weekend, with below average temperatures holding on through mid-February. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
