Grand Rapids is waking up cloudy and around 61 degrees Tuesday, but the bigger story is one final 75-degree warmup before light showers move in later Tuesday night and continue Wednesday. South winds will make the day breezy, with gusts near 30 mph, while most of Tuesday should stay dry enough for errands and outdoor plans.

Wednesday Looks Like The Wettest Day
