WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist : We reach 70 degrees for the first time this April! Unfortunately, it borught a few storms into Michigan earlier Friday, with a small chance of more storms this evening and overnight. The Storm Prediction Center has placed the counties that border Lake Michigan in the Slight Risk Area (Level 2 our of 5) for severe weather, while reducing much of state to the lowest risk; a Marginal Risk Area (Level 1 out of 5) for severe storms. The severe weather threat should be done by 1 A.M..
With the unstable air building into the area, occasional rounds of showers and storms will be likely, though most of the area will also enjoy several dry hours. Pleasant weather is on tap for much of Easter Weekend, with partial sunshine and highs in the mid/upper 50s both Saturday and Easter Sunday. Showers are possible later Sunday with better chances for rain to arrive on Monday. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates.
