WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: We officially hit 90 degrees in Grand Rapids for the first time this year! Our stretch of sizzling temperatures and sunny skies is likely to extend this week, leading to ideal days along Lake Michigan. The waters of Lake Michigan are currently in the upper 40s to lowers 50s, with low wave heights. The warming trend continues, as well, with a couple days likely to meet or exceed 90 degrees. High pressure is expected to remain in control, slowly meandering through the Great Lakes region. This will keep mainly dry and warm weather in West Michigan. However, there will be a chance for a pop-up shower or thunderstorm on Wednesday and Thursday. We are on pace for this to be West Michigan's second driest month of May on record. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
