WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Temperatures are cooling off, with mostly clear skies expected tonight. Our stretch of sizzling temperatures extends into Friday, which will be the hottest day of the week with high temperatures in the lower 90s. Another CLEAN AIR ACTION DAY is in effect for much of the area through Friday. Try to refrain from running gas powered lawn equipment or topping off the gas tank...both contribute to ground level ozone. May 2023 finished off as West Michigan's second driest month of May on record. We need rain! Thankfully, there is a chance of pop-up showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon. However, they will be hit-or-miss. We will likely enter into a period or state of "abnormally dry" conditions, the first stage before drought stage 1. With light winds in the forecast this weekend, it will be ideal to be along Lake Michigan and our beaches! The waters of Lake Michigan are currently in the lower 50s, with low wave heights of a foot or less. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
