Severe Storms Possible Late Tonight

Heat Wave This Week

Dangerous Waves Monday and Tuesday

Heat Safety

Thunderstorms will reach lower Michigan late tonight into Monday morning. A few storms may be severe along the lakeshore north of Muskegon with large hail and damaging winds as the main threats.

Expect highs in the 90s and heat indexes of 100-105 for many, possibly as high as 110 Tuesday-Thursday. Conditions may be a bit cooler along the lakeshore, especially from Muskegon and north. Several days of extreme heat will lead to a higher risk for heat illness and warm overnight temperatures will provide little relief, especially for those without cooling or working outdoors. Stay hydrated, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

Those looking to cool off Monday and Tuesday need to know dangerous waves and currents are expected on Lake Michigan North of Holland. Swimming conditions will be hazardous. Stay out of Lake Michigan and off of piers!
