The forecast from FOX17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Temperatures staying relatively mild into the start of this Thanksgiving week, with highs in the upper 40s to near 50 today! We expect some light rain showers and/or drizzle across West Michigan, totaling around a tenth of an inch. The showers are associated with a low pressure system and cold front tracking directly over the state, shifting our weather pattern into the holiday weekend. Tuesday will be breezy and cooler, but mainly dry. Another system will approach the Midwest from the south on Wednesday, bringing us a chance for rain/snow mix Wednesday night, especially in our southern communities. Thursday, as that system moves east, highs will be in the 30s as lake effect snow sets up after Thanksgiving Day through the weekend as a sharply colder pattern unfolds. Expect some snow accumulations to stick more than our first snow event, especially for locations along/west of U.S. 131! Stay with the FOX 17 Weather Team for future updates on our Holiday forecast.
