The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: A HEAT ADVISORY is in effect for our southern counties of Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph, and Branch from noon until 8 P.M today. Heat indices will reach the upper 90s to near 100. Pop-up showers and storms are still relevant today along the frontal boundary, but most will stay south/east of Grand Rapids along and south of I-94. Some may be strong to marginally severe with some wind or hail. A cold front and low pressure will slide through the state today, sweeping the last of showers and storms out of the area. Look for cooler, less humid conditions Saturday, but more heat and humidity arrive on Sunday with highs around 90. Early indications show a warm, but potentially stormy 4th of July.
