WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Gracyn Freund: Cooler and less humid air behind Tuesday's cold front will make for a much more comfortable next few days, with highs in the 70s plus low humidity today and Thursday. Morning lows will be in the low to middle 50s both mornings, feeling a lot like fall. It will be pretty breezy at times today, prompting a Beach Hazard Statement along the lakeshore with wave heights on Lake Michigan at 5-7 feet. Expect red flags at the beaches and exercise caution boating. We are in for another dry stretch of weather until the weekend, as highs eventually climb back into the mid 80s and humidity returns. Only a slight rain/storm chance exists on Sunday, with better chances for rain and storms by Monday. While we're not officially in a drought yet, we are over 2" below average rain amounts for the month. The first stage of drought is "abnormally dry" conditions. We'll likely start to see this increase or mount this week. Keep the sprinklers running!
