The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Expect highs in the mid/upper 80s the next several days, but comfortable with dry air in place and dew point temperatures in the 50s. Wildfire smoke has thickened across the Great Lakes region, and will stick with us at least through Friday. We may experience a milky white sky, but as long as the smoke stays confined to the upper levels of our atmosphere, we don’t anticipate air quality alerts or advisories here at the surface. The smoke also influences a drier atmosphere, helping keep us dry in what has been an unseasonably parched stretch. Rain chances stay near zero through the weekend, and still low into the middle of next week. The remnants of Hurricane Francine will lead to some mid/high level clouds in West Michigan, but the rain looks to stay out of the state through the weekend. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
TODAY: Sunny and warm. A milky white smoky haze likely from smoke suspended in the upper levels of the atmosphere. Highs in the upper 80s. Winds southeast/east at 5 to 10 mph.
