Today has been very warm since this morning, and there is no relief from the heat until Monday.  Meanwhile, we can expect some hefty storms tonight and tomorrow.  Some could drop some pretty impressive rain amounts according to local meteorologist, Mark Torregrossa with M Live.  We have had partly cloudy skies and plenty of sun up until now, but some dark clouds are beginning to move in.  Radar is showing rain coming off of Lake Michigan into the Grand Rapids area, and heading our way.  I guess we can expect to get a little wet tonight.
