WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Much warmer air is on tap overnight and tomorrow, as a mid-Summer feeling air mass surges into West Michigan. Tuesday will be windy, very warm and humid with highs in the upper 80s ahead of a powerful low pressure system. A BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT has been issued for the Lake Michigan shoreline from Ottawa and Muskegon counties to the north. Rip current risk in these areas is elevated, and waves could be 4 to 7 feet from early Tuesday through early Wednesday morning. Showers and storms are likely late Tuesday into Wednesday along a cold front. Some of the storms could be on the stronger side, especially Wednesday afternoon near and south of I-94. Cooler air behind the front brings highs back into the "seasonable seventies" for the middle to end of the week. Additional areas of rain and storms are possible Friday with another wave of low pressure. Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast updates.
