WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: This is the last nice outdoor day before a rainy and cooler stretch starts, so enjoy! Watch for some isolated areas of patchy fog during your morning commute. We'll have a mix of sun and clouds today with highs in the low to mid 70s. High clouds will stream in during the later part of the day ahead of the system bringing the rain. Showers move in tomorrow, and come in waves. More widespread rain is expected Thursday into Friday morning, before the rain finally exits. Rain totals will be 1-2" across West Michigan. A cold front pushing through ends the rain Friday morning, and temperatures will take a tumble this weekend. Highs will drop into the mid 60s, with some low 60s possible 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.
