WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: A weak, "back door" cold front is reinforcing dry air and cooler temperatures across the region. It's also bringing in wildfire smoke from northeastern Canada, which will deliver hazy skies through this week. We will have an elevated fire risk this week as we continue our dry stretch, accompanied with low relative humidity and breezy winds. Please do NOT burn anything during these conditions. Since April 6, we are the driest we have ever been in this stretch, so we need rain! Thankfully, the chance of rain returns this weekend! Showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible on Saturday and Sunday due to a passing cold front. At this point, severe weather is not likely. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
