WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Most West Michigan communities had heavy downpours with frequent lightning as some strong and severe storms tracked east across the area. Our severe storm threat is over, but scattered rain showers are expected to continue on Monday and Tuesday. We didn't get much rain Sunday, but its a start with how dry we've been. Cooler air as the low pressure system brings in air from Canada. Forecast models are indicating between .50" to 1.0" of rain accumulation including Sunday through Tuesday morning. A few lucky locations could receive more than an 1.0" of rain by Tuesday, especially those that saw heavy downpours from thunderstorms. Seeing that parts of West Michigan are now under a severe drought, we'll take any rain that we can get! Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
