WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Mainly clear skies are expected tonight with mild temperatures, only dipping to the 60s. Overnight lows are expected to be around 10 degrees warmer than what we see on average. Our stretch of sizzling temperatures and mostly sunny skies is likely to extend this week, leading to ideal days along Lake Michigan. The waters of Lake Michigan are currently in the lower 50s, with low wave heights of a foot or less. The warming trend continues with a couple days likely to meet or exceed 90 degrees. High pressure is expected to remain in control, slowly meandering through the Great Lakes region. This will keep mainly dry and warm weather in West Michigan. However, there will be a chance for a pop-up shower or thunderstorm on Thursday mostly along and west of US-131 coming off a lake breeze. We are on pace for this to be West Michigan's second driest month of May on record. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
