WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Each day continues to be warmer than the next, eventually reaching the upper 70s to near 80 degrees on Thursday and Friday. This is the perfect stretch of weather to spend some time outside! Only knock on the forecast is a strong west/southwest wind on Wednesday. We will have an increased fire risk through Thursday due to strong winds and dry air this week. Please be extra careful if burning, but note that it is suggested to not burn. Any fires developed could quickly spread due to these conditions. This will mainly be for locations away from rivers, streams, and lakes. A few rivers in West Michigan remain under Flood Warnings. Rivers reached their crest (highest point) this past weekend, and they will only recede for the rest of this week. A cold front sweeps in on Saturday afternoon into Sunday, bringing our next chance of showers and possible storms! Cooler air wraps in on Sunday morning, cooling us back down for the beginning of next week. Stay tuned with FOX 17 for your latest forecast updates.
