WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: If you're hoping for a good "thaw", this week is for you! Warmer temperatures settle back into the region this week, with daytime highs rising back to the 40s. This will encourage some melting of that newly fallen snow! Partly cloudy skies dominate for Wednesday, but clouds thicken by Thanksgiving. There's a chance for a few light rain showers Thanksgiving night as our next weather system moves into the Ohio Valley. Light rain showers or drizzle extend into Friday morning, before drier air settles in for the second half of Black Friday. All-in-all, Thanksgiving travel conditions look to be in good shape! A few clouds are possible on Saturday, with a better opportunity for widespread rain showers on Sunday. A wintry mix is possible late Sunday evening and into the overnight hours. High temperatures this upcoming weekend will be in the 40s. Download the free FOX 17 Weather App for the latest forecast video.
