WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Mostly cloudy skies are likely in West Michigan tonight, with overnight lows in the upper 50s. Unseasonably warm conditions are on tap for Thursday and Friday as high temperatures reach the lower 80s. You can plan on mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies on Thursday, with a bit more sun on Friday. While the threat remains low, a stray sprinkle can't be ruled out along and north of I-96 on Friday evening. Your weekend forecast is in great shape! Saturday is the first official day of fall! Known as the Fall or Autumnal Equinox, it's the precise time the sun is directly overhead of the equator. It happens at 2:50 A.M. on Saturday. We'll see equal days and equal nights...about 12 hours of each. Another weather system will be developing in the Midwest early next week. There is a lot of disagreements with our forecast models at this point, but expect some shower potential Tuesday and Wednesday. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
