The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Scattered showers thunderstorms are likely out ahead of a cold front today. At this point, severe weather is not likely but a few storms could be on the stronger side at times with gusty winds or hail. Heavy downpours are also likely with any storms that develop. A much more comfortable air mass will settle into the area behind the front on Wednesday and Thursday, with slightly cooler and noticeably less humid air arriving. we may also see more Canadian wildfire smoke as winds turn more northwets behind the front. The break from the heat and humidity will be short-lived as highs rebound back into the upper 80s and low 90s by late week. Several counties across West Michigan are facing drought conditions, which will be worsening in the days ahead. The Perseid Meteors peak TONIGHT! 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.
