WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Get ready for another cold night, West Michigan! Overnight lows will dive to the freezing point. Cloud cover gradually builds into the region tonight due to a system that will be passing to our north on Saturday. A stray shower is possible in Big Rapids and north, however the majority of West Michigan will only see the cloud cover due to this passing system. The most dense clouds are likely along and north of I-96, with more sunshine likely near I-94. All clouds are expected to filter out by Saturday evening, welcoming in endless sunshine for Sunday. Temperatures are expected to climb to the lower 60s by Sunday, with the lower 70s by early next week. In addition to the climbing temperatures, there is also quite a bit of sunshine for the rest of our 7-Day forecast. This is the perfect stretch of weather to spend some time outside. Many local rivers are at or exceeding flood stage, so the dry stretch of weather is a welcome site until water levels recede. Most rivers are expected to recede by the middle of next week.
