Grand Rapids is opening Monday under cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-50s, but the city is headed for a mild afternoon near 66 degrees. South-southeast winds will pick up, with gusts reaching 21 mph. The warm spell gets one more push Tuesday before a wetter pattern takes over.
Tuesday Brings One More Warm Push
Tuesday could be the warmest day of the week, with a high near 75 under partly sunny skies. A slight chance of rain showers is possible before 7 a.m., while south winds of 9 to 11 mph may gust as high as 25 mph. That makes Tuesday the better outdoor window before rain chances increase overnight.
Rain Arrives Tuesday Night And Peaks Wednesday
A 70% chance of rain showers develops after 1 a.m. Tuesday night, with temperatures staying unusually mild near 59 degrees. Wednesday is shaping up as the wettest day, with rain showers likely throughout the day, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 69. The earlier Hoodline forecast also called Wednesday the wettest part of the forecast, with rain likely throughout the day and an 80% precipitation chance, while the latest update puts the best chances late Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Cooler, Showery Weather Follows
Showers may linger Thursday, when the high reaches about 63 degrees. Friday stays mostly cloudy with another chance of showers and a high near 58, making for a noticeably cooler finish after Tuesday’s brief warmth.
Weekend Offers A Quieter Reset
