WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Areas of patchy fog are possible through the morning commute, but should not be as thick as the last few mornings. Today will be the best outdoor day of the week with a mix of clouds and sun and highs in the mid-80s. It will be humid, with feels like temperatures approaching 90! Another system will be coming through this weekend with waves of showers and thunderstorms Saturday into Sunday. Areas south of Grand Rapids have been included in a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) for isolated severe storms on Saturday, with a Slight Risk (Level 2 out of 5) for I-94 and south. Damaging wind gusts are the main threat Saturday but we can't rule out a brief spin-up tornado, especially in the Slight Risk area. This system should depart by the later half of Sunday. The start of next week will be dry and more comfortable with some sunshine on Monday and Tuesday, and lower humidity. Rain and storm chances return on Wednesday.
