Grand Rapids is starting Thursday under cloudy skies with temperatures near 50 degrees, but the bigger story is rain. Showers are expected through much of the day, with a high near 54 before temperatures slip into the low 50s during the afternoon.
Southwest winds around 10 to 15 mph could gust as high as 25 mph, making an already damp day feel a little more blustery. The chance of rain is 100%, though total rainfall should stay under a tenth of an inch.
Thursday Showers Fade Tonight
Rain showers should become more scattered late Thursday, with a 40% chance of additional showers before 10 p.m. Skies will be cloudy with a chance of evening showers, then partly cloudy after midnight as temperatures drop to around 38 degrees, then edge back toward 40 by early Friday.
Friday will offer a partial reset, with partly sunny skies and a high near 49. A 20% chance of rain showers is forecast Friday, while north-northwest winds may gust to around 24 mph.
Sunny Weekend Brings A Little Relief
The weekend looks much quieter across Grand Rapids. Saturday should be mostly sunny with a high near 52, followed by a mostly sunny Sunday with a high in the mid 50s, according to National Weather Service.
Cool nights will linger, with lows in the lower 30s Friday night and Saturday night, but the outlook turns warmer early next week. Monday is expected to be sunny and near 59 degrees, while Tuesday could reach 60 with little chance of rain.
