The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Scattered storms are possible overnight, some of which could be strong or severe. We remain in a SLIGHT RISK severe threat (Level 2 out of 5) for storms overnight and again tomorrow. Both days are WEATHER READY ALERT DAYS. Read more about the storm threat here. Isolated to scattered severe storms are possible 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. The tornado threat is low but non-zero. Sunday will be cooler and much less humid before high temperatures rebound into the upper 80s again early next week. We could use a soaking rainfall, as the past several weeks have featured mostly dry conditions. Grand Rapids has around 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.
