WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Today kicks off an active, unsettled stretch across West Michigan with daily rain and storm chances.

There is a Gale Warning this morning for wave heights of 6-8 feet on Lake Michigan, and a Small Craft Advisory this afternoon for heights of 3-5 feet. Rounds of rain and thunderstorms are likely this morning and early afternoon, with another round possible in the afternoon and evening.
