Tonight's Forecast: Storms expected late tonight into Friday morning

WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: West Michigan missed out on some severe weather on Thursday but some active weather is expected by Friday morning. A round of thunderstorms will develop in Wisconsin overnight and then move into West Michigan after 4 a.m. A few severe storms will be possible during this time, with areas south of I-96 included in a Marginal Risk (level 1/5). Main threats will once again be damaging winds, small hail, and heavy downpours which could result in localized flooding. Rain and storms will continue through about noon, then the afternoon looks dry. It's not long before rain and storm chances return late Friday evening into Friday night. The weather pattern will start to improve this holiday weekend, especially by Sunday. Rain and storms may linger into Saturday morning, but the rest of the weekend should be dry. A big drop in humidity will make it feel a lot more comfortable on Sunday and Monday with high temperatures around 80. Closer-to-average temperatures are expected through next week.
