The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Michael Fish: The overall pattern over our area isn't going to change much through the next week. That means each day will start off comfortably, but then get quite warm in the afternoon. Our high temps the next several days will be in the mid 80s. Luckily, there won't be much in the way of humidity. Wildfire smoke has thickened across the Great Lakes region, and will stick with us at least through Friday. We may experience a milky white sky, 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. The smoke also influences a drier atmosphere, helping keep us dry in what has been an unseasonably parched stretch. Rain chances stay near zero through the weekend, and still low into the middle of next week. The remnants of Hurricane Francine will lead to some mid/high level clouds in West Michigan, but the rain looks to stay out of the state through the weekend. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
