WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Areas of rain and a few thunderstorms continue early this evening, before cold air behind this system turns the rain to snow. Temperatures will quickly be falling into the 40s this evening as colder air swings in behind the low pressure system. This will also cause a changeover from rain to snow after sunset. Thankfully, snow accumulations look to be minimal at this time. Rain totals between yesterday and today are around an inch areawide, which is great for the moderate drought that has been persisting in West Michigan since the fall. Winds as the cold front moves through tonight will be strong, with 35-45 mph gusts possible through Thursday morning. Thursday will be much colder with highs in the middle 30s and feels like temperatures in the teens, but sunshine returns by Thursday afternoon. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME returns this weekend! Make sure to move the clocks forward one hour Saturday night into Sunday morning. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
