WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Forecast models are showing a light mix of drizzle, freezing drizzle, or snow showers developing overnight and toward daybreak. Light mix turns to light snow on Wednesday as a trough dips in the Great Lakes region and cools us down. Accumulations will be minimal for all types of precipitation, with any snow accumulation under an inch. There are indications that we could start seeing a pattern change next week! In fact, our team is tracking the potential of a much larger system arriving next Tuesday from the Texas panhandle. This storm will tap moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, but the exact track is uncertain. While current forecast models take it over Michigan, with rain, snow, and strong winds possible. This system will be the precursor to our pattern change and sharply colder temperatures next week. Make sure to stay updated on later forecasts as accumulations are possible!
