The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: A low pressure system moving toward the Great Lakes tonight will bring the chance for showers/storms by sunrise. More scattered storms are likely Friday evening as heat and humidity return ahead of a cold front. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s tomorrow, and upper 80s Saturday as the front sweeps through. We also remain in a SLIGHT RISK severe threat (Level 2 out of 5) for storms tomorrow and again Saturday, and both days are WEATHER READY ALERT DAYS. Read more about the storm threat here. Isolated to scattered severe storms are possible each day with damaging winds as the primary threat. Heavy rainfall and minor flooding could also happen due to all the moisture that will be in our atmosphere on those days, and the tornado threat is low but non-zero. Most of West Michigan could use a soaking rainfall, as the past several weeks have featured mostly dry conditions. Grand Rapids has almost a 3" rainfall deficit since the start of May! The precipitation deficit is more than 5" since January 1st. Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast updates.
