WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Terri DeBoer: Gorgeous weather continues to prevail across West Michigan, with plenty of sunshine and high temperatures above to much above average. Aside from a few patches of morning fog, sunshine is going to dominate the sky scene over the next several days. High temperatures will flirt with 80-degrees, and lows will slip into the 50s. This spectacular stretch of weather is thanks to a huge area of high pressure that will continue to remain in control of the weather across the region. For comparison: "average" highs this time of year are in the upper 60s with "average" lows in the upper 40s. Afternoon highs through Tuesday will reach the 80-degree mark; and will cool slightly for the middle of the week. Even those slightly cooler mid-week temperatures will be several degrees above average. Warmer air returns by the end of the week into the weekend, with highs back up to around the 80-degree mark! Unfortunately, even though the dry weather is nice for outdoor activities, the drought conditions will continue to worsen across many West Michigan communities. There's no sign of any significant storminess or precipitation coming our way through at least the middle of the second week of October!
