WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: Wildfire smoke moved in on Wednesday and this smoke will get worse by Thursday morning. At times, the air quality will range from unhealthy to sensitive groups to unhealthy for everyone. This smoke will stick around through Thursday and into Friday as well. We have extended the Weather Ready Alert through Thursday due to the wildfire smoke moving in. In terms of temperatures, we expect temps to drop from the 90s to the upper 60s overnight. Thursday will be a touch cooler and less humid with highs in the lower 90s. Highs remain around 90 on Friday, with afternoon and evening scattered showers and storms possible. A few thunderstorms are possible on Saturday as well. The clouds and rain will help keep temperatures a little lower this weekend, in the middle to upper 80s.
