WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: We are in the midst of our hottest stretch since July of 2020 across West Michigan, with one more hot day on tap Saturday. Saturday also sets us up with scattered showers and storms through the afternoon. May 2023 finished off as West Michigan's second driest month of May on record, so we need rain! However, they will be hit-or-miss. We will likely enter into a period or state of "abnormally dry" conditions into mid-June, the first stage before drought stage one. 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 for the weekend. Temps cool down starting Sunday as a weak cold front slides in from the north behind the showers. Temps will drop to the upper 70s for afternoon highs by the middle of next week. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
