WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Only a few clouds are in the forecast tonight, along with cold temperatures! Overnight lows dip into the 20s once again. The winds gradually pick up overnight and into Friday as a system moves in. This approaching system is likely to bring another transition from rain to snow, quickly dropping temperatures, and strong wind gusts. Thicker cloud cover is likely on Friday with rain showers developing later in the day due to a passing warm front. The warm front allows daytime high temperatures to soar to the upper 40s on Friday, reaching 50 degrees shortly after Midnight on Saturday. A cold front slides across the state in the early morning hours of Saturday, which will transition rain showers over to light snow! Temperatures will crash through the day on Saturday with the majority of the day spent in the 30s. Howling winds are in store as the system passes with wind gusts exceeding 45 mph from the west. Factoring in the strong wind gusts, the feels-like temperatures are likely to be in the teens. Isolated power outages are possible on Friday and Saturday. Dry skies return for Sunday, with partly cloudy skies and highs in the 30s! A wintry mix develops late Monday and throughout Tuesday, with high temperatures in the 30s next week.
