Grand Rapids is starting Saturday under mostly sunny to partly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-30s, with a chilly afternoon ahead before the week takes a sunnier turn. The city should reach near 46 degrees, and temperatures will begin slipping by late afternoon.
Partly Sunny Saturday Stays Chilly
Mostly sunny to partly sunny skies are expected today, with northwest winds of 5 to 15 mph. The National Weather Service says lake-effect rain or snow showers could continue into the weekend.
Saturday night’s low is expected near 30 degrees. Sunday brings a modest improvement, with partly sunny conditions, a high near 47 and another cold night near 28.
Sunny 50s Arrive For The Workweek
The outlook changes quickly Monday, when sunshine and a southwest breeze lift temperatures to around 50 degrees. Tuesday should reach 52, Wednesday 55 and Thursday 58, giving Grand Rapids several opportunities to leave the heaviest coat at home.
Friday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with partly sunny skies and a high near 60. A chance of showers could return by the end of the week, but the forecast remains mostly dry through the middle of the week.
