WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: After a sunny, breezy and relatively "mild" Sunday, big changes are brewing in West Michigan's weather as we approach Thanksgiving. A clear and quiet night is ahead, with a beautiful sunrise on the horizon for Monday. Clouds will be on the increase quickly Monday, as a system approaches from the southwest. Any precipitation will likely hold off until Monday night into early Tuesday. Widespread rain showers are likely Tuesday morning, with the first of two low pressure systems which will impact our weather this holiday week. Colder air arrive with a secondary low early Wednesday morning, with temperatures dropping through the 30s and a wintry mixture of rain and snow. Even colder air will move into the region later Wednesday into Thursday 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. There is also the potential for yet another system to bring widespread snow to the region for Saturday and Sunday. 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.
