>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR FORECAST NOW, IT'S BEEN A PLEASANTLY WARM SEPTEMBER DAY. >> AND IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE GOOD. BUT FALL IS ON THE WAY. METEOROLOGIST SCOTT LARSON JOINING US NOW WITH A LOOK AT SCOTT. >> YEAH. WE'VE HAD SOME VERY WARM TEMPERATURES OUT THERE AND THAT CONTINUES THROUGH MOST OF THE 8 DAY FORECAST. OUR CURRENT TEMPERATURE IN GRAND RAPIDS AT 80 DEGREES WITH A WEEK WHEN FROM THE SOUTH NOW AT 5 MILES PER HOUR. ONE OF THOSE A SIGNPOST THAT WE LOOK FOR AS FAR AS THAT TRANSITION INTO FALL, THOUGH WE HAVE OUR A SUNSET HAPPENING AT 8 O'CLOCK THIS EVENING. SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE KIDS DAYS, CONTINUE TO BECOME SHORTER AS WE MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE FALL AND WE SHOULD EXPECT TO SEE OUR AMOUNT OF DAYLIGHT ALSO BE REDUCED IN FACT, SINCE THE SUMMER SOLSTICE BACK IN JUNE. WE'VE HAD LATER SUNRISE TIMES TODAY. IT'S AN HOUR AND 14 MINUTES LATER THAN ON THE SUMMER SOLSTICE AND ALSO EARLIER SUNSET TIMES CURRENTLY AN HOUR AND 26 MINUTES EARLIER THAN IT WAS BACK IN JUNE HAD A NET LOSS OF DAYLIGHT OF 2 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES TOTAL. SO A PRETTY LARGE DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU ADD IT ALL UP AND AS WE CONTINUE FORWARD IN 2 OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. YOU CAN SEE THAT EVENTUALLY WILL ONLY BE DOWN TO ABOUT 9 HOURS OF DAYLIGHT BY THE TIME THAT WE REACH THE WINTER SOLSTICE A COUPLE OF OTHER MILE MARKERS ALONG THE WAY IN 7 O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING ON OCTOBER 14TH WILL HAVE SUNSET. THEY ALSO DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME COMING TO AN END ON NOVEMBER. 3RD, I WILL HAVE SUNSET OCCURRING AT 5.31. SO EVEN AGAIN, THOUGH, IT DOESN'T FEEL MUCH LIKE FALL OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE KIND OF TEMPERATURES THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE FORECAST. A LONG STRING OF HIGHS IN THE 80'S. IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO LOOK AND FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE IT WITH REDUCTION IN THE DAYLIGHT AND ALSO THE TREES CHANGING COLORS. BUT THERE'S A LOOK AT OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT 8 DAYS LIKELY TO HOLD STEADY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80
