WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: A rainy weather pattern will continue for us in West Michigan. We are keeping an eye on a stronger system that will bring some heavy rain this weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will move through overnight and continue into Thursday morning, so make sure to grab the umbrellas as you're headed out the door. A few spotty showers may linger into the early afternoon, otherwise the second half of the day is looking mostly dry, while staying cloudy. Friday will be another mostly dry day with partly cloudy skies and only a small chance for a shower. Highs through the end of the work week will be in the lower 70s, which is a few degrees below average for this time of year. Another system approaches for the weekend, bringing widespread heavy rain and thunderstorms. The rain will start Friday night and continue through all of Saturday, so any outdoor plans will likely need to be moved inside. Rain continues Saturday night into early Sunday, then by Sunday afternoon we should begin to dry out... for a short period of time. Another system will follow right behind bringing more rain chances into early next week. Temperatures are also expected to cool down this weekend and into next week, to the upper 60s to around 70.
