GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids has two more mild days to enjoy before November weather returns. The National Weather Service forecast calls for clouds building Monday with a high near 56 and a light breeze that could gust to 18 mph, then a low around 43 overnight.

Tuesday looks like the pick of the week, with sunshine and a high near 60. Clouds take over on Veterans Day, and the weather service puts the chance of showers at 30 percent after 1 p.m., with a high near 55.

Rain chances climb to 40 percent Wednesday night and Thursday, when the high only reaches about 46. Overnight lows drop to around 30 Thursday night and 29 Friday night, so anyone with outdoor plumbing, plants or boats still out may want to finish fall chores early in the week.

Lake-effect showers could pop up late in the week, mainly nearer Lake Michigan and to the north, while the city itself should stay mostly dry. No watches or warnings are posted for land areas, though the lake may be rough for boaters.

A slow warmup follows, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 47 Saturday and about 52 on Sunday.
