WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Clouds will gradually clear overnight as lows drop into the upper 50s-likely the last comfortable night before a stretch of hot and humid weather sets up. Highs Saturday will be in the low 80s, with a mix of sun and clouds. A huge warm-up is in store Sunday and beyond as a ridge of high pressure builds in, with an extended stretch of dry but increasingly hot and humid weather through next week. This area of high pressure will act as a "heat dome", trapping the heat and humidity inside. Highs Sunday climb into the middle 80s on Sunday. A stretch of 90+ degree days is expected from Monday through Friday, and with high humidity values heat indices will rise to near 100+ each day as well. Morning temperatures will be in the low to mid 70s during this time, so there will not be much heat relief. Stay cool and hydrated during this heat wave!
