WEST MICHIGAN — Grand Rapids and many West Michigan communities are recording 90s in the last full week of July as a big surge of moisture and heat stream in from the plain states.
This is now coming to an end, as a cold front is dropping in from the northwest Thursday evening. Before it passes, dew points in the 70s is creating lots of instability for showers and storms to develop ahead of the front.
Here's a look at storms developing north of West Michigan just after 2 P.M.
Storms will be scattered in nature as the slide to the south and east. The good news is, gusty winds are the only severe threat, and any downpour we see will be much needed for our vegetation and drought conditions!
The hail risk is in northern lower Michigan, and there is no active threat for tornadoes!
Here's a look at potential scattered storms at 6 P.M. and at 10 P.M.. This is the time window for anything severe, but shower chances will linger overnight.
