The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: The few breaks in the clouds today were nice, but the cold air is still in place. Another stretch of light snow is expected overnight and into Thursday midday as a system moves in from the west. 1-2" of snow is expected for most around the 131 corridor, with 2-3" along the lakeshore. Some higher amounts are possible north and west of Grand Rapids with some lake enhancement (Muskegon northward). A small warming trend starts Thursday with highs back into the low to mid 30s, into Friday with partial sunsine and highs in the mid 30s. Enjoy it while it lasts, because another true Arctic blast is on the way starting Saturday. A cold front will move through in the morning, bringing widespread snow, rapidly falling temperatures and breezy northwest winds. Additional snow chances are likely next week with highs only in the single digits and wind chills in the double digits below zero. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
