WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Mostly clear skies and mild temperatures are in the forecast tonight. Looking for more heat and sunshine? This week is for you! A few clouds are possible on Tuesday with mostly sunny skies the rest of the work week. High temperatures could hit 70 degrees on Tuesday. Each day will be warmer than the next, eventually reaching the upper 70s by Friday. This is the perfect stretch of weather to spend some time outside! Strong winds will be likely on Tuesday and Wednesday. We will have an increased fire risk Tuesday through Thursday due to strong winds and dry air this week. Please be extra careful while burning! Any fires developed could quickly spread due to these conditions. This will mainly be for locations away from rivers, streams, and lakes. Several rivers in West Michigan remain under Flood Warnings. Rivers reached their crest (highest point) this past weekend, and they will only recede for the rest of this week. A cold front sweeps in on Saturday afternoon, bringing our next chance of rain! Cooler air wraps in on Sunday morning, cooling us back down for the beginning of next week. Stay tuned with FOX 17 for your latest forecast updates.
