The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: We expect wet and mild conditions for our Election Day as a frontal system lifts into the Great Lakes today. Brisk south/southwest winds will keep temps very mild with highs in the upper 60s to near 70! Hold onto your hats and ballots as winds will gust to around 40 mph. It's looking likely we will likely see an inch or two of widespread rain throughout West Michigan, which will put a bit of a dent in the drought that has developed over the last 2 months. GALE WARNINGS are in effect on Lake Michigan. We'll maintain lots of cloud cover on Wednesday with some late day sunshine possible, but it will be cooler with highs in the mid/upper 50s. Dry weather continues Thursday through Saturday, but more more showers may be arriving Saturday night into Sunday as our next weather system approaches. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
