WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Gracyn Freund: Cool and comfortable conditions continue today with highs in the middle to upper 70s under a mostly sunny sky, plus low humidity. Tonight will be another great night to crack open the windows as lows drop into the 50s. Friday will be slightly warmer in the lower 80s but humidity levels will still be low. We stay dry until the later half of the weekend, when temperatures and humidity will increase ahead of a few upper level low pressure systems. Only a slight rain/storm chance exists Saturday night and Sunday, with better chances for rain and storms late Sunday through Monday. Rain amounts now look to be around 0.5". While we're not officially in a drought yet, we are over 2" below average rain amounts for the month. The first stage of drought is "abnormally dry" conditions, and we'll likely start to see this increase or mount this week. Keep the sprinklers running!
