WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: It's been 11 days since we've received any rain, but that changes tomorrow. The surface high pressure and Omega block are moving away, allowing a cold front system to approach West Michigan tomorrow. Expect rounds of rain and thunderstorms tomorrow into Saturday. Rain totals will be between 0.5-1", with isolated higher totals possible in the heaviest downpours. Storms could also be briefly severe tomorrow afternoon and evening, with damaging wind and hail as the main threats.
