WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Tonight will be our last cool night as a warmer and more humid pattern builds in this weekend. Overnight lows will be in the upper 50s and low 60s. Temperatures climb into the mid 80s tomorrow, and to around 90 Sunday and Monday. Heat indices Sunday and Monday will be in the 95 to 100 range as humidity increases. Rain and thunderstorm chances return as a few upper level systems roll through: a small chance Saturday night into Sunday, with better chances for rain and storms late Sunday through Monday. West Michigan has been included in a MARGINAL RISK (level 1/5) for severe storms on Sunday, and a SLIGHT RISK (level 2/5) on Monday. The main threat right now looks to be damaging wind gusts, with rain amounts around 0.5" from this system. Since it's been a very dry month, any rain that we can get will be beneficial, but keep the sprinkles running in the mean time! A few showers may linger into Tuesday before we dry out midweek.
