WEST MICHIGAN — WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Cloudy skies, cooler temperatures, and a fall-like rain event are in store to kick off the work week. Counties along the southern state border are in the MARGINAL risk for severe storms. All areas may hear a few rumbles of thunder as well, but the big story is heavy rain leading to some localized flooding. Most areas around I-96 are expected to exceed one inch of rain. Counties along I-96, I-94, and in between are currently under a FLOOD WATCH through noon Tuesday. Some communities may see 2 to 3 inches of rain by Tuesday morning. Be sure to not drive through large puddles on roadways as it may look shallower than it actually is, and can really damage your vehicle, but also but you in danger of injury or drowning. After Tuesday, we dry out midweek, but another chance for showers and storms arrives with a cold front on Thursday. Most of next week will only see high temperatures in the 70s! Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
