The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: A cold front moved through the area Wednesday evening and it brought very little rain to West Michigan. This was our only chance for rain in the forecast as a dry and mild weather pattern sets up. The rest of the week will be filled with sunshine and comfortable temperatures in the 70s. This dry and warm stretch of weather into next week is due to an upper level blocking pattern in the jet stream known as a Omega Block. This pattern forces warm air all the way up into southern Canada, and any low pressure systems that try to move in get pushed into the Northeast or Hudson Bay area. This pattern is not expected to break down until late next week.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the mid 50s. Winds north/northeast at 5 to 10 mph.
THURSDAY: Sunny and pleasant. Highs in the low/mid 70s. Winds northeast at 5 to 15 mph.
FRIDAY: Sunny and pleasant. Highs in the mid/upper 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 70s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny with highs in the mid 70s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny with highs in the upper 70s.
