MID-MICHIGAN — Mostly clear skies and mild temperatures are in the forecast this morning. Looking for more heat and sunshine? This week is for you! A few clouds are possible on today with mostly sunny skies the rest of the work week. High temperatures could hit 70 degrees this afternoon! Each day will be warmer than the next, eventually reaching the upper 70s near 80 degrees even by Friday. This is the perfect stretch of weather to spend some time outside! Strong winds will be likely on today and Wednesday. We will have an increased fire risk today through Thursday due to strong winds and dry air this week. 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. Several rivers in West Michigan remain under Flood Warnings. Rivers reached their crest (highest point) this past weekend, and they will only recede for the rest of this week. A cold front sweeps in on Saturday afternoon into Sunday, bringing our next chance of showers and possible storms! Cooler air wraps in on Sunday morning, cooling us back down for the beginning of next week.
