WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: The next week looks sunny, dry, and warm with no rain in sight. This is due to an upper level blocking pattern in the jet stream known as a Omega Block. This pattern forces warm air all the way up into southern Canada, and any low pressure systems that try to move in get pushed into the Northeast or Hudson Bay area. Daytime highs through next Wednesday will be in the 70s, with overnight lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Each day will be sunny, with a few clouds here and there. It will be breezy at times though, especially Friday and Saturday. If you're going to Lake Michigan this weekend, an east wind will keep wave heights less than 1 foot. This dry and warm pattern is not expected to break down until late next week. Enjoy some time outside!
