Not everyone will see precipitation overnight, and severe storms are not likely! Rain chances continue overnight into early Wednesday morning. By the mid-morning on Wednesday, sunshine sweeps back in. Mostly sunny skies continue into Thursday, as high temperatures briefly warm to around 90 degrees. Another cold front takes aim at West Michigan late Thursday, with another round of showers and storms expected overnight Thursday into Friday.
