"Wonderful weekend weather" are not typically three words you hear to describe West Michigan's conditions at this time of year -- unless of course, you're a lover of cloudy skies and chilly temps, with no snow to enjoy. That's what is typical for this time of year.
But it looks like we'll enjoy abundant sunshine for much of this weekend, with unseasonably warm temperatures. The clouds that had been expected to thicken over our area in the wee hours of this morning didn't. But I don't think anyone will be complaining about that! Forecast models indicate the next disturbance heading our way will bring cloudy skies back by Monday, with a chance for showers Monday afternoon and evening. Cooler air returns behind that system.
But for the next two days -- which just happen to be Saturday and Sunday -- we'll enjoy some uncommonly friendly (for this time of year) weather. Great weather to rake leaves!
