Grand Rapids is starting Friday on the cool side, with partly sunny skies, temperatures in the low 40s and a high near 47. North-northwest winds will run 6 to 12 mph, with gusts reaching 24 mph, making the afternoon feel more brisk than the thermometer suggests.
Lake-Effect Showers Stay Mostly West
The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids says lake-effect rain will be most active near the Lake Michigan shoreline and across far northern areas. Grand Rapids has only a small chance of rain Friday, and any shower that reaches the city should be light.
Clouds will thicken later in the day, while temperatures slip toward the mid-40s by afternoon. A few wet snowflakes may mix into showers in higher terrain farther west or north, but there is no meaningful snow threat in Grand Rapids.
Cloudy And Cold Friday Night
Friday night will be mostly cloudy, with temperatures dipping to around 35 before edging upward into the upper 30s overnight. Winds will ease to 3 to 9 mph, though the evening should still feel decidedly November-like.
Weekend Warmup Arrives Saturday
Saturday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 51, followed by a partly cloudy night with a low around 35. Sunday looks brighter and warmer, reaching about 57 degrees, but west winds could gust as high as 30 mph.
Sunny Stretch Holds Through Veterans Day
The mild, mostly dry pattern continues Monday through Veterans Day, with highs near 59 Monday, 60 Tuesday and 57 Wednesday. Thursday turns partly sunny and cooler, with a high near 53 and another chilly night in the mid-30s.
