The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Weather remain cold and quiet tonight and Wednesday, but tomorrow evening our next system approaches. It is likely we will see freezing rain overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning. The Thursday morning commute will likely be impacted, with a glaze of ice up to a tenth of an inch possible in spots. Heavier amounts look to be focused along/south of I-94. Friday will be a dry and quiet day, before another chance for snow showers moves in Saturday. There may also be some freezing rain with that system too. So far in Grand Rapids this season, we've tallied 54.1" of snow. Normal totals for the entire season are around 77", so we are well on pace into the beginning of February. Colder air appears to be on tap later this week and into the weekend, with below average temperatures holding on through mid-February. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
