The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: This week has been an awesome frame of fall weather, but rain chances finally return this weekend. Overnight it will be clear and mild with lows around 45. The Northern Lights will be possible to see throughout West Michigan tonight. Best viewing time is after 9 PM when the sky is fully dark. Friday will feature partly cloudy, breezy, warm conditions with highs in the 70s! Our next shower chance arrives on Saturday as a low pressure system starts working into the region. Better chances are here on Sunday with sharply cooler temperatures in the 50s by then. Milton, now a non-tropical low, continues to track away from the continental U.S. It made landfall Wednesday evening around 8:30 just south of Tampa as a strong Category 3 with 120 mph winds.
