The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Reece Cole: Welcome to the first day of summer...the summer solstice occurs at 10:24 P.M.. A shower or thunderstorm is possible late this evening and overnight with a MARGINAL threat for severe weather. A hot and humid weekend is ahead behind the line of storms, as they ride the warm front northeast. Highs soar into the 90s Saturday through Tuesday next week. A HEAT ADVISORY is in effect from 12 P.M. Saturday until 8 P.M. Sunday for areas along and south of I-96. Feels like temperatures will be soaring in to the upper 90s and low 100s, so make sure to stay cool and hydrated! The overall pattern hints at much warmer than "average" through the last week of June. Watch out for high waves on Lake Michigan this weekend too! Winds will drive high waves, dangerous for swimming from time to time, and likely small craft advisories for boaters. Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast updates.
