WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: An AIR QUALITY ALERT remains in effect through tonight as wildfire smoke from Canada continues to filter into the Great Lakes region creating deteriorating air quality. The "mid-Summer sizzle" builds again through the first half of the work week, as high temperatures rebound into the upper 80s and low 90s. Humidity levels will be on the increases starting Tuesday into Wednesday. The next chance for some much-needed rainfall comes mid-week, with isolated to scattered showers and storms possible both Wednesday and Thursday. There is the chance for some thunderstorms those days as well. We could use a soaking rainfall, as the past several weeks have featured mostly dry conditions. Grand Rapids has over a 3" rainfall deficit since the start of May, and a precipitation deficit more than 5" since January 1st. Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast updates.
