WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Gracyn Freund: A partly to mostly cloudy sky is expected today as a storm system passes south of the state. This may push a few stray showers up into some neighborhoods south of I-94 but most of West Michigan will stay dry. A huge warm-up is in store late this weekend 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 on Saturday will be close to average around 80, then climbing into the middle 80s on Sunday.
Then a stretch of 90 degree days is expected from Monday through all of next week. With increasing humidity, heat indices will rise to near 100+ each day as well. Make sure you're preparing for the heat and keeping yourself safe during this hot stretch!
TODAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Chance showers mainly south of I-94. Highs in the mid 70s. Wind ENE at 5-10 mph.
