The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: As we progress through the week, highs will spike into the mid/upper 80s, with a chance at 90° Thursday! Thankfully, this will be a drier heat and humidity will remain lower than the last heat wave. Our forecast models are showing the possibility of thick wildfire smoke moving into the Great Lakes tonight and Wednesday. We may experience a milky white sky (especially on Wednesday), but as long as the smoke stays confined to the upper levels of our atmosphere, we don't anticipate air quality alerts or advisories here at the surface. It will be a quiet, dry stretch of weather this week as rain chances stay at or near zero over the next several days. Our next deck of clouds arrives late Thursday into Friday, associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Francine. Only a small chance of moisture from this system may affect us this weekend. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear and comfortable. Lows in the mid 50s. Winds south-southeast at 5 to 10 mph.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny and warm, perhaps a milky white sky with wildfire smoke in the upper levels. Highs in the mid/upper 80s. Winds southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
THURSDAY: Sunny and hot. Highs in the upper 80s to near 90.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy to partly sunny and warm. Highs in the middle 80s.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy to partly sunny and warm. A slight chance of showers from Grand Rapids southward. Highs in the mid 80s.
