WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: We are off to the sunniest start of October on record in West Michigan!! This is coming to an end soon, as a few high clouds will start moving in from west to east as the high pressure slowly weakens and shifts off to the south. We will remain dry on Wednesday with the clouds and should reach the low 70s! The next chance of rain is expected to arrive Thursday with an approaching cold front. Scattered rain showers are possible on Thursday and will linger into Friday with lake-effect rain showers and additional cloud cover possible, especially along/west of U.S. 131 closer to Lake Michigan. Highs will be in the low 70s Wednesday, only to tumble back to the lower 50s on Friday. We could even potentially see our first widespread freeze by Friday overnight into Saturday morning.
