WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: After finally seeing some sunshine Friday, more is on tap for the weekend. Temperatures will be returning to the middle 50s this weekend. Saturday will be the sunnier and warmer of the two! Our next rain chance arrives Sunday P.M. and night. Highs next week will mainly be much warmer in the 60s, while lower 50s is normal for this time of year.
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.
