The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: West Michigan will get a break from the active weather today with temperatures remaining well above average for this time of year and sunshine. Look for breezy and unseasonably warm temperatures in the 60s! Some locations may get close to record highs for the day in the upper 60s to near 70 south of Grand Rapids. All good things come to an end as a strong storm system will arrive on Tuesday. We've issued FOX 17 WEATHER READY ALERT DAY for the possibility of strong to severe storms Tuesday evening, Tuesday night, into early Wednesday morning. Hail, wind, and a few tornadoes are all possible during this time frame...especially Tuesday evening/night. Eventually the system will pull in some colder air on Wednesday and we may see rain change to snow showers during that day, but no accumulation is expected. The remainder of the week will be much colder with more seasonable temperatures for this time of year.
