The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Today will be the coldest this week with highs only around 40. As Canadian high pressure moves overhead, we'll see calming winds with plenty of sunshine. Make sure to dress warmly for the West Michigan Whitecaps home opener today at 6:35 P.M.! We expect temperatures around 40 for the first pitch of the game and low/mid 30s by the time the game wraps up. We start to warm up on Wednesday as wind switches to the south, then staying warm through the rest of the week. Rain chances return Thursday and Friday, with more unsettled weather likely during the late weekend and early next week. We may be looking at highs next week back around 70 or better, but increased rain chance too. Make sure if you live close to a river, stream, or creek, keep an eye on it. River levels are running highs and we have several FLOOD WARNINGS in effect...especially along the entire Grand River, the Muskegon River in Newaygo County, the Thornapple River in Barry County, and the Portage River in Kalamazoo County.
