The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: We will continue to gradually melt the existing snow on the ground, but no more accumulating snow is on the way. If you manage to hang on to at least one inch of snow by 7 A.M. Christmas morning, that qualifies as a "White Christmas!" That said, snow left on the ground is melting quickly with peeks of sunshine, which will continue Christmas Day as well. Christmas Day will be mostly cloudy and dry with highs in the middle to upper 30s. No travel concerns across Michigan! A bigger warming trend is on the horizon by the end of the week, with temperatures building into the 40s and even low 50s for some by the end of Christmas Week. The warmer temperatures will also come with increasing rain chances this weekend. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
