WEST MICHIGAN — WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: We are in the midst of our hottest stretch since July of 2020 across West Michigan, with the cooler air finally settling in to end the weekend. Since April 6, we are the driest we have ever been in this stretch, so we need rain! Unfortunately, not a lot of chances for rain are in the forecast. We will likely enter into a period or state of "abnormally dry" conditions into mid-June, the first stage before drought stage one. With light winds in the forecast Sunday, it will be ideal to be along Lake Michigan and our beaches! The waters of Lake Michigan are currently in the lower 50s to lower 60s, with low wave heights of a foot or less for the weekend. Temps cool down through Thursday as a weak cold front slides in from the north behind a light sprinkle possible Monday. Temps will drop to the upper 70s for afternoon highs, but 80s return by next weekend. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 50s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny to full sunshine. Highs in the lower 80s.
