WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Skies remain mostly clear overnight with temperatures in the upper 40s. Patchy fog development is possible again, however it will not be as dense as the past few nights. High-level clouds will pass on Thursday, with more widespread cloud cover on Friday due to an approaching cold front. As the cold front moves closer to West Michigan, it will stall out near Lake Michigan. A few showers are possible northwest of Grand Rapids, however most of the region will stay dry and cloudy. The better opportunity for widespread rain showers will be on Saturday as the cold front slides across the state. Showers are expected to be gone by Sunday with sunshine returning. As the cold front passes, the winds will pick up as well! Plan on a windy Saturday night and Sunday with wind gusts potentially up to 40 mph. Sunshine and highs in the lower 60s are in store for next Monday and Tuesday. If you like the heat, you'll love the extended outlook! Each day of our 7-day forecast features above average temperatures in the 60s to near 70 degrees. Stay tuned with FOX 17 by downloading the free FOX 17 Weather App.
