WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Gracyn Freund: Today will be a great day to be outside as high pressure moves in right over us resulting in a pleasant and quiet day. We'll enjoy lots of sunshine with comfortable/seasonable temperatures in the middle to upper 50s. Clouds will increase towards late afternoon into this evening ahead of our next storm system. That will bring in some rain and storm chances tonight, as temperatures drop into the low/mid 40s overnight. The pattern becomes very active, warm and humid Sunday through most of next week, with several rounds of rain and thunderstorms as highs push into the 70s. Some storms on Monday could be strong to severe, with all of West Michigan under a Marginal (level 1) risk for severe weather. However, the best chance for thunderstorms is Tuesday, and the Storm Prediction Center is already highlighting West Michigan in a severe weather outlook. Keep an eye on any rivers, streams, or creeks near your home. FLOOD WARNINGS for high water levels continue along the Grand River for Robinson Township and Comstock Park, and the Portage River near Vicksburg.
