WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Reece Cole: Summer heat and humidity remains in place to kick off August! We'll see temperatures in the 80s as humidity sticks around this week with dew point temperatures hovering around 70 through Saturday! Parts of West Michigan remain in a MARGINAL RISK for isolated severe storms tonight and Thursday. That's a level 1 out of 5. Hail and wind are the primary threats, along with the risk of moderate to heavy rainfall due to all the moisture in the atmosphere. Wildfire smoke will also plague the Great Lakes, but it should remain in the upper levels of the atmosphere keeping our air quality good to moderate here at the surface. There are indications that we may start losing the oppressive humidity this weekend, followed by cooler temperatures next week. Make sure to stay up on later forecasts and stay alert with FOX 17 weather for your latest forecast.
