Tonight's Forecast: Heat builds as the week goes on

WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Tuesday from noon until 8 p.m. for all of West Michigan. High temperatures will be in the mid 90s with heat index values potentially just over 100 degrees. This has prompted a FOX 17 Weather Ready Alert for Tuesday and Wednesday because this type of heat will continue then. Make sure you're staying hydrated and that you have ways to keep cool. Thursday will be another hot and humid day with highs in the lower 90s, but feeling close to 100. Overnight temperatures will stay warm through the week with lows only dropping to the upper 60s and lower 70s. Not much rain is coming our way this week either with some smaller chances in the forecast by the end of the week on Friday.
