WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Gorgeous weather will continue as we close out this Labor Day holiday weekend, as high pressure remains overhead with plenty of sunshine, gentle winds and highs near 80-degrees. Average highs this time of year have us in the upper 70s. Another sunny and slightly warmer day is expected Tuesday, before a strong cold front approaches the area mid-week. Much of Wednesday will likely be dry, with clouds and winds on the increase during the day. Widespread showers and a few thunderstorms are likely later Wednesday, likely arriving near or just after sunset. Sharply colder air will follow the front, with temperatures dropping to mid-October levels. The colder air will linger into the weekend, with occasional pockets of rain likely for Thursday and Friday. At this point, much of the weekend is looking dry and cool.
