GRAND RAPIDS — GRAND RAPIDS — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Erik Kostrzewa: The weather looks tranquil tonight and tomorrow, but it will be uncomfortably warm and humid. Storm chances will gradually increase from Thursday evening into Friday morning as a disturbance moves in from the west. A few of these storms could be strong to severe area-wide with the possibility of high winds. A cold front sliding through late Friday night and early Saturday morning could bring thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall to the area. Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible along and south of I-96 with the cold front.
