The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: Today is the first day of Spring and we will see mild temperatures to go along with it. A weak system is moving through the area today and it could bring a few sprinkles mainly north of Grand Rapids early. Outside of that, it will be mostly cloudy with temperatures reaching the mid to upper 50s. The vernal equinox officially happens at 10:46 A.M. today. It's the exact time the sun is directly overhead of the equator, and marks the start of Fall for the southern hemisphere. Saturday will be a great Spring day as well with sunshine and highs in the upper 50s! A cold front Sunday brings the chance for some light rain but it will not be a washout. Temperatures fall by Monday into the 40s but there are no major weather systems on the horizon at this time. Early next week, mornings will be in the upper 20s and afternoons in the mid 40s to around 50, which is close to average for this time of year.
