WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: A mid-Summer air mass continues to prevail across West Michigan this first weekend of October, with sunshine and highs in the 80s. Both weekend days will approach record high temperatures! In addition to the warmer temperatures, dew points will be on the increase, creating even warmer-feeling conditions! This will likely be the last of the 80s of the season, and likely the year. For comparison: "average" this time of year are highs in the mid-60s and lows in the mid-40s. Drought conditions will continue to worsen across West Michigan as we stay dry through the weekend. Scattered showers are finally in the forecast early next week...mainly later Monday into Tuesday. Those showers will come along with a significant pattern shift; dropping high temperatures into the "seasonable sixties" starting Tuesday right into next weekend.
