WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Isolated showers and a few thunderstorms are possible along the lakeshore after midnight. Widespread showers and storms are more likely tomorrow as a cold front moves through the area. At this point, severe weather is not likely but a few storms could be on the stronger side at times with gusty winds. Heavy downpours are also likely with any storms that develop. A much more comfortable air mass will settle into the area behind the front Wednesday, with slightly cooler and noticeably less humid air arriving. The break from the heat and humidity will be short-lived as highs rebound back into the upper 80s and low 90s by late week. Several counties across West Michigan are facing drought conditions, which will be worsening in the days ahead. The Perseid Meteors peak August 12/13. This is an annual event and stems from debris from the tail of the comet Swift Tuttle. Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast updates.
