WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: Canadian wildfire smoke has settled into West Michigan. It is expected to last through the day on Tuesday, generating hazy skies and poor air quality. A CLEAN AIR ACTION Day is in effect for Tuesday, so limit your time outdoors if you have respiratory concerns. The southwestern 'heat dome' shifts to the central and northern United States this week, leaving many West Michigan communities with temps in the low/mid 90s. This will be our most humid atmosphere of the year, so the 90s will feel different compared to other hot days through 2023. This will also bring the potential of a heat index of near the triple digits! Wednesday may bring moments of relief with showers and thunderstorms developing. There is a potential for severe storms in West Michigan on Wednesday. While most of the region falls under a MARGINAL RISK, the region closer to I-94 falls under a SLIGHT RISK.
