The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: The rest of this week and into the weekend remain cooler than average with frost/freeze concerns from tonight until Sunday morning. There is a FROST ADVISORY for Newaygo, Montcalm, Kent, Ionia, Barry and Eaton counties through 9 a.m. Thursdsay, and a FREEZE WARNING for Mecosta County. Temperatures overnight will be anywhere from 30 to 36. Cover your plants, and prepare to keep them covered each night through Sunday morning. The best chance for a freeze will be Thursday and Friday nights. High temperatures the next several days and into next week are expected to only climb into the low 50s, well below our normal/average high of 64. We expect the first full week (or even a little longer) of May to stay below average highs. Scattered showers are possible Thursday and Friday, with better rain chances returning Sunday night into Monday, and Tuesday night into Wednesday.
TONIGHT: Becoming partly cloudy. Areas of frost possible. Lows in the middle 30s. Winds northwest at 5 to 10 mph.
