The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: A warm night is ahead with increasing clouds, and the chance for a few isolated showers after midnight north of I-96. The weather pattern becomes more active tomorrow as a front stalls across West Michigan. This looks to keep a narrow east-west band of showers and storms fluctuating in the Lower Peninsula. Thursday's rain looks to be in our northern communities, with Friday evening and night becoming more widespread. Rain totals are trending downward across West Michigan during this time period, possibly due to lingering smoke in the atmosphere helping to dry the atmosphere out. No single day will be a wash-out, though there is a threat for pockets of locally heavy rain at times through Saturday. Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast updates.
