Today's Forecast: A little warmer, strong winds and sunny

Posted

MID-MICHIGAN — Each day continues to be warmer than the next, eventually reaching the upper 70s to near 80 degrees on Thursday and Friday. This is the perfect stretch of weather to spend some time outside! Only knock on the forecast is a strong west/southwest wind today. We will have an increased fire risk today through Thursday due to strong winds and dry air this week. There is a fire watch in place until 8 o’clock this evening. Please be extra careful if burning, but note that it is suggested to not burn. Any fires developed could quickly spread due to these conditions. This will mainly be for locations away from rivers, streams, and lakes. A few rivers in West Michigan remain under Flood Warnings through Thursday. A cold front sweeps in on Saturday afternoon into Sunday, bringing our next chance of showers and possible storms, any storms mostly possible Saturday evening. Cooler air wraps in on Sunday morning, cooling us back down for the beginning of next week. Next Monday and Tuesday we have chances for rain snow mix.
