WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: A cool and clear night is ahead for West Michigan which is good news because there is a partial lunar eclipse happening tonight. The maximum eclipse is at 12:12 a.m., and mostly clear skies will create perfect viewing conditions! Temperatures will be in the lower 60s around midnight so it will feel nice out. You will definitely need a jacket though for early Friday morning as temperatures bottom out in the low to middle 50s. Friday will be a nice day with a mix of sun and clouds, low humidity, and highs near 80. Temperatures will warm up this weekend along with an increase in humidity as a heat dome builds to our south. We will be in the lower 80s on Saturday and middle 80s on Sunday. We will stay dry through much of the weekend, but more unsettled weather returns heading into next week with rain and storm chances Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and potentially even Thursday. Summer-like temperatures will continue as well, staying in the middle 80s.
