The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: A taste of spring is coming to West Michigan late this week as warmer temperatures and rain chances are in the forecast. Today starts out sunny with clouds gradually returning through the day, but highs will reach the low/mid 50s. Late in the day, a few showers are possible toward I-94. On Thursday a system will bring rain to the area and that should keep temperatures in the 40s. The steadiest rain will likely occur south/east of Grand Rapids. Another system is quick on its heels and will bring more rain later Friday into Saturday. A few rumbles of thunder are even possible.
