WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: Waves of rain are on the way to West Michigan beginning Wednesday and lasting into Friday morning. For tonight, clouds will move in ahead of this system as temperatures drop into the upper 50s and lower 60s. On Wednesday, expect to see some rain. While it will not rain all day long, there will be rounds of showers throughout the day. With the clouds and rain around, temperatures will be cooler in the 60s. More showers are expected Wednesday night into Thursday as well. The heaviest and steadiest rain will come in Thursday evening. We do expect some drier air to come in by Friday after a cold front comes through. By the time it is all said and done, many areas will see at least 1-2" of rain over the next few days. Cooler weather comes in for the weekend and into early next week. We will also have to watch for some chilly morning temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s early next week. The average first frost is typically in early October. The longer term forecast into mid-October favors cooler than average temperatures.
