WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: An area of lt. mixed wintry precipitation is moving into West Michigan for today and tonight, which could create areas of slippery travel for today, tonight into tomorrow. Even though the amounts of moisture will be limited in most locations, the timing of this system may create issues for holiday travel. Patchy fog is also possible this morning, especially in areas from Grand Rapids to the north. With a northeasterly wind shift, the morning light rain/mixed precipitation will make the transition to snow, with the precipitation switching to primarily light snow through the afternoon and evening. Accumulations will be on the lower side, around 1-2″, but there could be slippery spots on the roads even with a light coating of snow. The best chance for any precipitation will be in areas south of the I-96 corridor. An area of light snow is possible for New Year’s Eve night into early New Year’s Day. The biggest weather story unfolding is a huge shift in the weather pattern, bringing in a return to sharply colder air and periods of snow as we kick off 2025! If you are a winter weather lover, the pattern is showing signs of a continued cold pattern through at least the middle of January. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!

With the New Year just around the corner, it’s important to stay safe on the roads as slippery travel conditions are possible on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. With snow, ice, and rain in the forecast, drivers should exercise caution and be prepared for slick roads.

Make sure to check the weather forecast before heading out and plan your route accordingly. Take your time and drive at a safe speed, leaving plenty of distance between you and the car in front of you. Be extra cautious on bridges, overpasses, and shaded areas where ice is more likely to form.

If you must travel during inclement weather, make sure your vehicle is properly equipped with winter tires, windshield wipers, and plenty of windshield washer fluid. Keep an emergency kit in your car with items such as a flashlight, blankets, water, and non-perishable snacks in case you get stranded.

Remember, it’s better to arrive at your destination late than not at all. Stay safe and have a happy New Year!
