WEST MICHIGAN — WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: We'll see clouds gradually decrease overnight, but prepare for the heat and humidity to build in for Tuesday as a warm front lifts through the state. High temperatures will return to the middle/upper 80s and dew points will be pushed well into the 60s. Strong to potentially severe thunderstorms will then be fueled by the extra heat and humidity Tuesday night. West Michigan is under a marginal/slight risk of severe weather late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. The risk of damaging wind, large hail and an isolated tornado exists.
