Today's Forecast: Mostly sunny, warm, and pleasant

The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Look for mostly sunny, warm conditions today before the clouds thicken this evening and overnight with shower chances. A slightly more unsettled Thursday through Saturday pattern 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 this evening and overnight 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 will exit West Michigan later Saturday, 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!
