WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: West Michigan is waking up to a very warm and muggy morning. Today will be hot and humid, with morning sunshine giving way to scattered scattered showers and thunderstorms as a cold front marches into the area. The first wave of showers and storms may arrive by midday. In addition to locally heavy rainfall, some of these storms could be strong or even severe, with damaging winds as the main threat. A portion of Michigan is included in the Marginal Risk (Level 1 out of 5) for severe weather. Heavy downpours and lightning are expected in any storms.
