Grand Rapids, MI – Post-holiday travelers near I-96 should prepare for wet and potentially slick roads as rain showers move into the Grand Rapids area starting Friday.

According to the National Weather Service, light rain is expected to begin Friday afternoon, with an 80% chance of showers persisting into Friday night. Rainfall could intensify overnight and continue through Saturday, bringing temperatures up to an unseasonable high of 54 degrees before cooler weather returns Sunday.

The rainy conditions are expected to create reduced visibility and slippery surfaces, particularly on major routes like I-96 and I-196. Those planning travel in and around the region are urged to exercise caution, use headlights during low-visibility periods, and allow extra travel time.

The weather pattern shifts slightly by Sunday, with a chance of lingering showers and temperatures dropping back to the upper 40s. As the week progresses, cloudy skies will remain dominant with occasional chances of precipitation, making it important for residents to stay weather-aware.

Stay informed with updated forecasts to plan travel and outdoor activities. While the rain is expected to taper off by Sunday evening, continued caution on the roads is advised through the weekend.
