Tonight's Forecast: Staying clear, slightly warmer

The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Meteorological Fall started this week, and by this weekend it will certainly feel like it! We'll stay in the 80s through Thursday, but a big swing is forthcoming. A more unsettled Thursday-Saturday is ahead as a cold front swings through the state and cools us down into the 60s this weekend. We'll have shower and a few thunderstorm chances Thursday night into Friday, but severe weather is NOT likely. Colder air coming in aloft with keep the chance for a few lake enhanced showers on Saturday, mostly along the lake shore. The system should exit West Michigan by Sunday, but we do have the chance for a few waterspouts on Lake Michigan this weekend with significantly cooler air flowing over the relatively warmer waters! Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
