The month of March came in like a lamb across West Michigan on Monday afternoon with sunshine and above freezing temperaturers in the mid 30s to around 40 degrees. In fact the high hit 41 degrees in Grand Rapids which was only the third time this year the temperature has reached 40 or better. Furthermore, it was the second warmerest day we've seen so far this year next to the rainy 49 degrees that occurred on January 24. You can expect quiet, late winter weather this week with a gradual warming trend over the weekend. We should see plenty of sunshine on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as daytime highs rise from the mid 30s on Wednesday to lower 40s by Friday. Nighttime lows will be chilly over the next few nights as skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy with light and variable winds. Some locations in the countryside away from the cities could see lows briefly dip into teens. Otherwise a developing storm system later in the weekend will likely pull warmer air northward into Lower Michigan. Temperatures will warm into the 40s over the upcoming weekend with an increasing chance of some light rain or drizzle along with some areas of fog Saturday night into Sunday.
