The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Colder temperatures build in overnight, but it will very quickly warm into the low 40s Thursday with lots of sunshine! Thursday is shaping up to be the warmest day of January, but it will be breezy as well with gusts of 20-25 mph at times. Enjoy the day, because a pattern change comes Thursday night into Friday with rain and snow showers developing. There may be some light icy or an icy mix along/north of I-96 Friday morning, but most of the precipitation is expected to be rain, snow, or a combination of the two. A few slick spots on the roads are possible. There is another chance for more rain/snow on Sunday. So far in Grand Rapids this season, we've tallied 52" of snow. Normal totals for the entire season are around 77", so we are well on pace into the end of January. Overall, we will be trending the next several days into milder temperatures (30s and a few 40s) and less chances for accumulating snow. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
