WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Tonight our rain shower chance increases once again, and there could be rumbles of thunder associated with these showers. For a majority of West Michigan, no severe weather is expected. However, in Berrien, Cass, Van Buren and Saint Joseph counties are clipped by a MARGINAL level 1 out of 5 risk for strong winds and hail. Accumulations are expected to be light and not widespread. Most of the rain showers will be hit-or-miss and should be dry with more sun Sunday afternoon. The first day of fall is this upcoming Thursday, September 22nd at 9:03 P.M.. We call it the autumnal equinox! Each and every day leading up to the first official day of fall is likely to be warmer-than-average. Climate prediction outlooks point to a more 'on average' forecast after Thursday, so we can anticipate temperatures returning to the mid 70s.
