WEST MICHIGAN — Grand Rapids got its first chill of Fall this weekend.
The high of 63 degrees is the coldest high in Grand Rapids since May 27 earlier this year. Lows Sunday morning dipped to 41 degrees, and some were in the upper 30s, the coolest morning since May 12Th.
This is due to a low pressure to our north and east wrapping cool air around the Great Lakes region this first week of September. The average high for September 8 is 77 degrees.
As the system exits, a large ridge sets up in the Midwest, allowing for the wind to shift from northwest to southwest, influencing a warm up into the work week!
A separate high pressure is developing out West, and this will help keep humidity low as the heat builds.
We are expecting upper 80s by next Thursday, with a non-zero chance to reach 90 degrees. No records are expected to be broken, as 95 degrees from 1952 is the warmest, but it will still be a nice summer stretch for the second week in September!
