WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Dry conditions continue through Friday, before a strong low pressure system brings rain and the chance for thunderstorms. Thankfuly, before that system, we are able to enjoy pleasant, sunny weather. Highs Wednesday will be in the low 50s, with a much calmer breeze than the past few days.Temperatures will be cooler near Lake Michigan. A quick warm up occurs Thursday when highs jump back into the low 60s. With warm and humid air coming up from the south ahead of a big low Friday, highs could be approaching 70 for much of the region! This system looks to bring our first thunderstorms of the season with isolated severe storms possible. Much of lower Michigan is experiencing drought conditions, so the grass and brush fire threat will remain high until widespread rain arrives! Stay tuned to FOX 17 for latest forecast updates.
