WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Canadian wildfire smoke has begun settling into West Michigan this evening as the system that brought us rain on Sunday and today shifts east. A few lucky locations could receive additional light rain tonight, however most of us will stay dry. Drier air filters in for Tuesday afternoon, along with more dense Canadian wildfire smoke closer to the surface. This has placed all of West Michigan under an Air Quality Alert for Tuesday. A mix of sun and clouds are on tap for Wednesday and Thursday, along with warmer temperatures. Our next chance for showers and thunderstorms will be on Friday, primarily in the morning. Another round of rain is likely on Saturday, as well. While rain on the upcoming Fourth of July weekend isn't ideal, we need the rain! Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with some lingering showers. Hazy skies likely from Canadian wildfire smoke. Lows in the upper 50s to near 60. Winds northwest at 10 to 20 mph.
TUESDAY: Morning clouds with a lingering shower possible, otherwise drier in the afternoon. Canadian wildfire smoke will generate hazy skies and low air quality. Highs in the middle to upper 70s. Breezy with northwest winds at 10 to 20 mph.
