The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Big changes are brewing in West Michigan's weather this week of Thanksgiving! A system moving in from the southwest brings scattered rain showers overnight into tomorrow morning, becoming more isolated in the afternoon. Colder air arrives with a secondary low early Wednesday morning, with temperatures dropping to the 30s, changing rain to snow. Even colder air will move into the region later Wednesday into Thanksgiving and Friday, with scattered snow showers. At this point, accumulation does not look to be significant; though could be just enough to produce slippery travel conditions at times for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend (2-4" in the heaviest spots). There is also the potential for yet another system to bring widespread snow to the region this weekend. Looking ahead into the first week of December; a "colder than average" pattern shift is ahead. Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast.
