The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Look for a few showers and storms today as a cold front slides through the state. Some may be strong to marginally severe this afternoon, mainly east of U.S. 131. As the humidity returns Friday ahead of another cold front, a batch of showers and thunderstorms will be possible overnight Friday into Saturday. Afternoon highs will hold in the low to mid-80s through mid-week, with high in the upper 80s later in the week and a shot at 90 degrees Friday. 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.
