WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Canadian wildfire haze is possible for your Thursday and Friday, with otherwise mostly sunny skies. High temperatures will be close to average in the upper 70s for the remainder of the workweek. West Michigan falls under an elevated fire risk as we continue our dry stretch, accompanied with low relative humidity and breezy conditions at times. Please do NOT burn anything during these conditions. Since April 6, we are the driest we have ever been in this stretch, so we need rain! Thankfully, the chance of rain returns this weekend and into next week! Showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible Saturday night through Tuesday due to a passing cold front and low pressure system. The estimated rain accumulation by Tuesday will be 0.50" to 1.25" across the region. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
