WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: It's been a stellar Saturday! Mostly clear skies are in the forecast, so get outside and enjoy! Cloud cover will gradually increase on Sunday due to a system arriving late Sunday evening. Showers are set to depart early Monday morning, leaving us with afternoon sunshine as highs get into the middle 60s for the Solar Eclipse! We will remain mild next week with a few low rain chance opportunities, but our best chance for showers is on Thursday.
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.
