It's almost the start of astronomical summer, and we have had see-saw temperatures for much of May and June across West Michigan. It looks like this week, ahead of the Summer Solstice on June 20, temperatures stay consistently warm and some of us will make a run at 90 degrees! This would be the first 90 degree day of the year. The first 90 degree day in Grand Rapids is, on average, June 18. This is factoring in all temperature data since 1896 when records started being consistently kept.

Our next cold front is taking aim at West Michigan for late Tuesday into Wednesday! Currently, the front is in the Upper Midwest. It will slowly slide toward our area Tuesday, but will remain far enough away that the good usable hours of the day will be dry. Ahead of the front, gusty southwest winds of 20-30 mph will bring warm and humid air in as well.

Last week's rain may be a distant memory to many West Michiganders, but you'll need your umbrella again this week!Memorial Day will be a pleasant one overall, with highs in the upper 60s to around 70, light wind and a lot of sunshine especially in the early part of the day. Cloud cover increasing during the second half of the day comes ahead of the system that brings the best rain chances of the week starting late Tuesday.

As it feels like summer this week with highs in the upper 70s and low to mid 80s and elevated humidity, that sets the stage for strong to severe storms as a cold front moves in Thursday night. West Michigan is already highlighted as an area to watch for severe storm potential from the Storm Prediction Center (above).
