WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: On-and-off rain showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast this evening and tonight. Parts of West Michigan currently fall under a MARGINAL TO SLIGHT RISK for severe storms this evening, which are the two lowest risks. Strong wind gusts, hail, and heavy downpours are possible, although any severe storms will be very isolated and short-lived if they develop. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out this evening, especially along/south of the I-94 corridor where the best dynamics with wind shear and energy exist. Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms continue into Thursday, where there is a MARGINAL RISK for severe storms for parts of the region. This system will be track through West Michigan on the slower side, with lingering rain showers into Friday. Cloud cover begins breaking up Saturday with partly cloudy skies expected. Plenty of sunshine and heat return for Sunday and Memorial Day with highs in the 80s! For the latest forecast and immediate severe weather alerts, you can always download the free FOX 17 Weather App.
