WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: The blocking weather pattern will remain in place for most of the upcoming week. It does look like towards Friday and into the weekend things will begin to change with some rain returning to the forecast. Until then, dry and pleasant weather will continue. Sunday night is partly cloudy with lows in the 50s. On Monday, a mixture of clouds and sunshine is expected with highs in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees. Fire danger will remain elevated through the start of the week due to the low humidity and dry air in place. Temperatures will gradually warm each day, climbing back into the lower 80s by Wednesday and through the end of the week. As the Omega Block starts to break down towards the end of the week, humidity levels will also begin to increase. This transition will open the door for our next opportunity for rain, with scattered shower and thunderstorm chances returning Friday into Saturday. Considering how dry May has been overall and how long it's been since we've seen any rain, we can definitely use it.
