WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: A cold front is bringing on and off rain and thunderstorms this morning, which will continue into the early afternoon. Grab an umbrella as you head out the door for work or school this morning! While it will not be a complete washout, rain and storms are most likely from now through around 3 p.m. It will dry out later this afternoon and evening. Any chance for severe weather is very low and rainfall totals of 0.25" to 0.50" are likely. Thanks to a strong breeze from the southwest, a Beach Hazard Statement in effect for Oceana, Muskegon, and Ottawa counties until this evening for dangerous swimming conditions. Dry weather is expected starting this evening and continuing through Friday, with a mix of sun and clouds and highs in the 70s. Another cold front Saturday could trigger a stray shower but most stay dry. Much better chances for rain (and storms) come early next week, especially Monday into Tuesday.
