WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: You'll need your rain gear and warm layers tonight! Isolated flurries and sprinkles remain in the forecast tonight and into early Friday morning. Partial sunshine will return by Friday afternoon, with more abundant sunshine and warmer temperatures on Saturday. The Detroit Tiger Home Opener this Friday will be chilly....bundle up...only in the low/mid 40s with wind chills in the 30s!
Don't forget...the SOLAR ECLIPSE occurs on Monday! Right now, the forecast calls for a 20 to 30 percent chance of a morning shower, otherwise partly cloudy to partly sunny skies in the afternoon. Grand Rapids will see 94 percent of totality, meaning 94 percent of the Sun will be covered by the Moon. This will occur from about 3:05 to 3:15 Monday afternoon, but make sure to have a plan "B" as clouds may dominate the forecast at that time. Our team of meteorologists will have tips and information all week ahead of the solar eclipse. Click here for everything you need to know.
