WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: It was a warm and sunny Sunday in West Michigan. Muskegon hit 71 degrees this afternoon, and Holland climbed to 68 degrees. Both Muskegon and Holland broke their daily high record temperatures for March 3. The surge of warmth doesn't end today. We're getting even warmer for Monday! The current March 4 record high is 66 degrees in Grand Rapids, set back in 1983. With a current forecast of 70 degrees, we're likely to break records again tomorrow. Record temps don't last long, as a cold front slides in Monday evening and overnight, allowing for showers and thunderstorms. At this point, severe thunderstorms are not likely. Rain will linger into Tuesday as temperatures fall back into the 50s. High temperatures will remain in the 50s for Wednesday and Thursday, before additional rain chances and cooler air returns to wrap up the week. Stay up to date with the FOX 17 Weather Team.
