WEST MICHIGAN — The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: A cooler stretch of weather will continue into Thursday but eventually warmer air does make its return. Lows will fall into the 50s through Friday morning, with mostly sunny afternoons and highs in the upper 70s and low 80s. We stay dry until the weekend, when temperatures and humidity increase ahead of a few upper level low pressure systems. Only a slight rain/storm chance exists Saturday night and Sunday, with better chances for rain and storms late Sunday and Monday. Rain amounts now look to be around 0.5". 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!
