GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Heavy rain is set to move into West Michigan Saturday evening, lasting through Monday morning.

Friday, the National Weather Service issued a Flood Watch for Allegan, Barry, Eaton, Ionia, Kalamazoo, Kent, Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana and Van Buren counties.

Incoming rain is expected to cause areas of flooding across West Michigan, which have already picked up more rain than usual over the past several months.

Rain will arrive slowly from south to north Saturday through the late morning and early afternoon. Rain will be light at first, then becoming heavier as the system moves in.

This will lead to occasionally heavy rain Saturday night and Sunday with lasting lighter showers on Monday. All of West Michigan is expected to receive around two inches of rain. A few areas will see up to three or four inches of rain.
