Today's Forecast: Mostly sunny and unseasonably warm

The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: After seeing temperatures in the mid to upper 70s in West Michigan on Wednesday, more warm weather is on the way today. Look for more sunshine and warmth in the upper 70s to near 80 today. A great day to be outside! An isolated shower is possible this afternoon as a warm front lifts into the state, but many will stay dry. The main chance for rain and thunderstorms arrives on Friday. Temperatures remain above average into the weekend behind a cold front, but will peak in the mid 60s instead of the 70s. Looking in to next week, a system will impact West Michigan Monday into Tuesday with more rain/storms likely at that time. By the way...the annual Lyrid Meteor shower peaks this week. Check out the night sky if clear. Try to get away from city lights.
