Sunny, comfortable & breezy Saturday
TODAY: Mostly sunny, comfortable & increasingly breezy LOW: 42° HIGH: 74° WIND: SE 10-20 mph
After a cool start, temperatures will warm to nearly 10 degrees above normal. Mostly sunny skies will persist with highs in the mid 70s. Some clouds may begin to stream in through the evening for the northern half of the area. Winds will also be on the increase, eventually reaching speeds of 10-20 mph with gusts up to 30-35 mph out of the southeast.
A cold front will pass through prior to sunrise. It may bring a few showers along, especially north of Grand Rapids, though these should end near or shortly after daybreak. Winds will shift out of the northwest after the frontal passage, and it will remain breezy with gusts to 35 mph. Highs will still climb to above-average values, near 70 degrees.
Mostly sunny, but noticeably cooler, with highs only reaching the low to mid 60s. The wind will relax some, on the order of 5-15 mph.
LOOKING AHEAD Highs in the 60s will persist through the middle of the week before a gradual late-week warm-up commences. Sunshine is expected to remain prevalent, with the next chance of meaningful rain currently set to hold off until at least next Saturday.
