WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: We are more than likely breaking temperatures Tuesday, both record highs and record lows! It also brings more unsettled weather. Tuesday's system brings scattered showers and thunderstorms behind the warmest air, which keeps overnight lows in the upper 40s near 50 and highs in the upper 60s near 70! There is a chance for strong to severe storms Tuesday evening for much of West Michigan but especially our south and west communities. We are in a SLIGHT RISK for Muskegon, Kent, Montcalm counties to the south, as well as a MARGINAL RISK for Oceana, Newaygo, and Mecosta counties. With these stronger storms, damaging winds the primary concern along with hail, lightning and heavy downpours. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out, the greatest chance is near the state line. Colder air wraps into West Michigan on Wednesday, transitioning rain back over to light snow briefly making for a icy and possibility challenge morning commute. The rest of the week will feature dry air settling in with sunshine and warming temperatures carrying into the weekend. Stay up to date with the FOX 17 Weather Team.
