MID-MICHIGAN — A quiet morning in store for West Michigan with temps kicking off in the 30s. Today will bring partly cloudy skies and the Vernal Equinox. Spring officially arrives at 5:24 P.M today. It's the exact time when the sun is directly overhead of the equator giving most locations around the globe "equal days and equal nights" with about 12 hours of each. Grand Rapids achieves a 12 hour day and 12 hour night a few days earlier, because we are south of the 45th parallel! The forecast flips a switch immediately to spring like weather with temperatures rising into the 50s midweek. Chances of rain showers move in on Wednesday and could linger into Thursday.
