WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: After a foggy finish to Sunday, areas of dense fog will be possible for the Monday morning commute. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until Noon due to the potential for a quick drop in visibility in some areas through the morning commute. Patchy black ice may form on some area roads, especially in areas north of Grand Rapids. Most of the moisture from another quickly-moving system will slide to the north of the I-96 corridor today. Spotty lt. rain or a lt. area of mixed precipitation is possible this morning, but much of the day will be cloudy, dry and mild, with high temperatures warming into the low-40s. A cold and quiet Tuesday is ahead, with partial sunshine and highs in the 20s. A more impactful winter system looks likely 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. 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. Another chance for snow showers is possible by the weekend.
