WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: High pressure overhead with dry air in place will make for another comfortable night, once again falling into the upper 50s. Thursday will be a bit warmer with highs in the mid 80s along with a slight increase in humidity. Rain and thunderstorm chances increase late Friday as our next storm system rolls in. Scattered showers and storms will be likely on Saturday, especially early, with a few showers possibly lingering into early Sunday.
