WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Areas within 5-10 miles of Lake Michigan have tallied 2" to 4" of snow since early Tuesday. Inland areas have avoided most measurable snow, with a dusting in Grand Rapids. The cold air will stick around through the weekend into next week, and we have already been below freezing for an entire week! While it will be cold Thursday, it will be the best day of the week with dry conditions and a partial sunshine expected in the afternoon. Another quick 1-2" of snow is possible Friday P.M. and night into early Saturday from the next system. Another round of heavier and more widespread snow is possible for Sunday into Monday, though there is still some uncertainty with that system. If you are a winter weather lover, this cold pattern looks to be in place through at least the middle of January. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
