WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Overnight as temperatures start to drop back to the mid 30s, meaning we could see a mixture of snowflakes with the rain. Keep your rain gear and warm layers handy leading into next week. More lake effect rain showers are possible for Monday and Tuesday with highs in the lower 40s! A rain snow mix combination could push through the region on Monday during the morning commute. Some snow could accumulate on grassy surfaces or top of cars, but the ground is still relatively warm and with afternoon temps in the 40s, most snow will melt. Remember to take it easy on the roadways if there is any slush or reduced visibility. Temperatures headed into the work week will stay chilly, as a big trough in our upper level jet stream and upper level low spin over the region and allow for cold air to pour in from Canada. We will remain 15 to 20 degrees below average until Thursday! Showers should wrap up by Thursday, with sun returning Friday and Saturday.
