Tropical Storm Edouard Impacting the Northwestern Gulf Coast; Hazardous Heat expands in the East

Tropical Storm Edouard will impact the northwestern Gulf Coast through Wednesday with gusty winds, storm surge, and heavy rainfall. Flash and river flooding will be possible, especially in southeastern Texas. Hazardous heat will expand across the central and eastern U.S. by mid-week, and daily chances for severe thunderstorms are expected from the eastern Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic this week.

The streak has come to an end!

As of 4:36 p.m. Tuesday, the temperature reached 90 degrees at Gerald Ford Airport, the official observation site. It did not last long, however, as it dropped back to 89 degrees at 4:41 p.m. The last time Grand Rapids hit 90 degrees or warmer was on September 10, 2013. On that date, Grand Rapids hit 94 degrees.

Cooler temperatures will work their way back into the forecast, which could possibly make this one of the last decent chances to reach what has recently become a "milestone" mark in Grand Rapids.

To tie the record, Grand Rapids would have had to make it to Friday, August 14th without hitting 90 degrees. Making it through August 15th would have broken the record. While Grand Rapids did not tie or break the record, it turned out to be the second longest such streak.
