Grand Rapids begins Monday, October 26, with a cool upper-40s start, but the city will climb to near 64 degrees under partly sunny skies. The bigger weather plot is a brief cooldown before an almost-70-degree midweek rebound, with showers arriving late in the week.

The forecast calls for only a small rain chance Monday, and the National Weather Service has no active watches or warnings posted for the area.

Cooler Monday, Breezier Tuesday

Monday afternoon should stay comfortable for errands and outdoor plans, with northeast winds between 1 and 6 mph and temperatures easing back toward the low 60s later in the day. Monday night turns partly cloudy, with a low near 43 degrees and temperatures edging up slightly overnight.

Tuesday, October 27, keeps a mostly cloudy pattern and reaches about 64 degrees. The east-southeast wind gust forecast above 20 knots applies to Lake Michigan marine conditions, not Grand Rapids on land.

Wednesday Brings The Warmest Break

Wednesday, October 28, looks like the week’s best weather window, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 71 degrees. That warm-up follows the pattern outlined in Sunday’s Hoodline forecast, but the latest update now gives local residents a clearer view of the rain chances waiting beyond the midweek warmth.

Showers Arrive Thursday

Rain showers are possible Thursday, October 29, with a high near 70 degrees. The day may still include some sun, and severe weather is not expected, but a few quick showers could complicate commutes and outdoor plans.

Friday brings mostly sunny skies with a 20% chance of showers and highs around 70 degrees. Halloween on Saturday, October 31, brings a 20% to 30% chance of precipitation, while Sunday turns cloudier with a 37% chance of showers and a high near 67.
