The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Big changes are ahead for the rest of the week, as a strong area of high pressure builds over the eastern half of the country. This will drive high temperatures into the low to mid 90s across West Michigan tomorrow and Thursday. Humidity levels will also jump, with feels-like temperatures Wednesday through Friday in the upper 90s and lower 100s. Scattered showers and thunderstorms ahead of a stalling front on Thursday could provide some heat relief. A few of those storms could be on the strong side with gusty winds. West Michigan included in a MARGINAL RISK (Level 1 out of 5) for isolated severe storms. We may be able to start seeing the Perseid Meteors in the coming days, but they don't peak until August 12/13. This is an annual event and stems from debris from the tail of the comet Swift Tuttle. Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast updates.
