Weather forecasts from FOX 17 indicate a notable shift in conditions across West Michigan this week. While light wildfire smoke and lower humidity levels create a comfortable atmosphere through Tuesday evening, a strong area of high pressure is set to bring high temperatures into the low to mid-90s as the week progresses.
Expect significant humidity increases, with feels-like temperatures reaching or exceeding 100 degrees from Wednesday through Friday. Despite the rise in temperatures, only isolated showers are anticipated during these days, with the majority of the time remaining dry.
Additionally, sky watchers may begin to see the Perseid meteors in the coming days, although the peak of this annual celestial event won’t occur until August 12 and 13. This phenomenon results from debris from the tail of the comet Swift-Tuttle.
Here’s a brief look at the upcoming weather:
