WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Dry conditions continue through Friday, before a strong low pressure system brings rain and the chance for thunderstorms. Thankfully, before that system, we are able to enjoy pleasant, sunny weather with a quick warm up Thursday as highs jump back into the low 60s! With warm and humid air coming up from the south ahead of a big low Friday, highs could be approaching 70 for much of the region! It will also be very breezy Friday ahead of the low. This system looks to bring our first thunderstorms of the season with isolated severe storms possible. Gusty winds of 50-60 mph would be the primary storm threat. Much of lower Michigan is experiencing drought conditions, so the grass and brush fire threat will remain elevated until widespread rain arrives! Stay tuned to FOX 17 for latest forecast updates.
