WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Get ready for a big warm-up this week accompanied by a few chances for showers. Record warmth is expected today and Wednesday and the winds ramp up from the south and west driving our temperatures into the mid/upper 70s to near 80! We'll also have rain chances on Thursday (Halloween) as the cold front comes through. Forecast models show the best chance of rain on Halloween will be in the morning and early afternoon, with drier trends towards trick-or-treating time. That said, temperatures will be falling from the upper 60s into the 50s by trick-or-treat time, and it will be breezy and a bit blustery. More rain chances arrives Sunday and Monday.
