Tonight's Forecast: Cool down on the way

The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: Much cooler weather is on tap the rest of the week after this very warm and breezy Monday! Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are possible overnight as a cold front passes through the area. While the chance for severe weather is low, the Storm Prediction Center does have most of West Michigan in a Marginal Risk (Level 1 out of 5) and southern sections of Cass, St. Joseph and Branch Counties in a Slight Risk (Level 2 out of 5). Storms with damaging winds and small hail are the primary threats, along with heavy rain. The storm threat ends around 1 a.m. as the front sweeps through, but it stalls on the east side of the state tomorrow. A few more showers are possible tomorrow afternoon, but many stay dry. Highs stay in the 50s through the rest of the week, with additional spotty rain chances between Wednesday and Saturday. Mornings drop back into the upper 30s through Friday, with the best chance for areas of frost on Thursday.
