WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn: The first official day of summer, known as the summer solstice, is tomorrow! It's the day where West Michigan will have the most daylight hours, clocking in at over slightly over 15 hours of daylight. The forecast reflects summertime, as well! This is the week to keep a bottle of water nearby and find ways to stay cool! Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies are in the forecast through Saturday, along with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. This dry stretch will continue to lock in our drought conditions and elevated fire risk across most of the state. A few pop-up showers will be possible on Wednesday and Friday, however any rain will be very limited! The greater opportunity for widespread rain will be Sunday night into Monday with a passing cold front and perhaps a little Gulf moisture. At this point, a few stronger thunderstorms are possible.
