WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: The first official day of summer, known as the summer solstice, is today! It's the day where West Michigan will have the most daylight hours, clocking in at more than 15 hours. The forecast reflects summertime, as well! This is the week to keep a bottle of water nearby and find ways to stay cool! This evening and Thursday are CLEAN AIR ACTION DAYS as wildfire smoke and ozone levels creep up to unhealthy levels for sensitive people in West Michigan. A few pop-up sprinkles are possible on Thursday and Friday, but any rain will be exceptionally limited. Plan on a mix of sun and clouds with high temperatures in the 80s! This dry stretch will continue to lock in our drought conditions and elevated fire risk across most of the state. The greater opportunity for widespread rain will be Sunday night into Monday with a passing cold front. A few thunderstorms are possible, as well! Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
