The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: A FOX 17 WEATHER READY ALERT continues tonight due to a few more strong storms overnight associated with a cold front. The Storm Prediction Center has kept West Michigan in a Slight Risk (level 2/5) for severe thunderstorms overnight. A few with damaging gusts are likely, but a brief spin-up tornado can't be ruled out with the amount of spin in the atmosphere. Storms will end around 2 a.m. Friday, with increasing sunshine during the day and highs in the upper 50s to around 60. Another system brings rain and more storms late Friday night into Saturday morning. Rain totals could amount to another 1-2" before the weekend ends. Easter Sunday looks to be cooler and mostly cloudy, quiet stretch of days into early next week.
