GRAND RAPIDS — WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: With high pressure moving to the east, our winds will shift to a more southerly direction over the next couple of days, signaling a brief period of warmer weather. A cold front coming through Wednesday afternoon will set the stage for cooler temperatures by Friday. A brief shower or sprinkle may accompany this front, but most of us will stay dry. While we may see some sunshine the next several days, a veil of smoke and haze is likely across Michigan from the West Coast wildfires.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear and seasonably cool. A veil of smoke/haze is likely. Lows in the upper 40s to around 50°. Light southeast wind.
