WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: A quiet night in store for West Michigan with temps falling into the upper 20s to around 30 degrees. Monday will bring partly cloudy skies and the Vernal Equinox. Spring officially arrives at 5:24 P.M on Monday. It's the exact time when the sun is directly overhead of the equator giving most locations around the globe "equal days and equal nights" with about 12 hours of each. Grand Rapids achieves a 12 hour day and 12 hour night a few days earlier, because we are south of the 45th parallel! The forecast immediately takes to spring like weather, with temperatures rising into the 50s midweek. Chances of rain showers move in on Wednesday and could linger into Friday.
