Cool Memorial Day
Widespread rain on Monday
Drying out Tuesday
Additional rounds of rain and storms are expected heading into Memorial Day itself. Again, rumbles of thunder and lightning are possible as severe weather chances are still not likely. Widespread showers and storms will linger through the daytime Monday before exiting our area into the early evening. Temperatures for tomorrow will be the coolest we've seen as we struggle back into the lower 60s.
We start to see a warming trend throughout the rest of the upcoming week. By Wednesday we should start to see 70s return. The only downside is we may also see rain chances increase yet again by Thursday night.
After the Thursday rain chance, we dry out and warm up a bit heading into the weekend. Highs should climb back into the lower 80s by Saturday & Sunday.

Beach and Boating forecast: June 5, 2025
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — As the first week of June officially comes to a close, temperatures remain on the cooler side with wildfire smoke limiting sunshine this weekend. Temperatures remain near average for this time of year with highs in the low to mid-70s this weekend. Unlike last weekend, the winds will be quite calm. Both Friday and Saturday will have a north/northeast wind at 5 to 10 miles per hour. Sunday will be a touch breezy with a south wind at 10 to 15 miles per hour. Some yellow flags may fly then with wave heights at 1 to 3 feet. Due to the limited sunshine and near average temperatures, water temperatures have only warmed a few degrees this week. Most beaches are reporting temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s. The average temperature in Lake Michigan for early June typically sits near 50 degrees. While these water temperatures remain near average for this time of the year, any water temperature below 60 degrees can pose a safety threat. If more than a few minutes are spent in the water, cold water shock and hypothermia can set in. The good news? Water temperatures typically warm around 10 degrees throughout the month of June! The peak temperature sits in the low 70s for early to mid August. Lake Michigan Summer Beach Guide Sunday will start off quite pleasant at the lakeshore with sunshine and highs reaching near 70 degrees. By the evening, a cold front is set to sweep through bringing the chance for some showers and thunderstorms. At this time, no severe weather is expected. Lingering showers will continue Monday and Tuesday. Air quality took a dip Thursday morning, with most of West Michigan reporting in the uncomfortable to unhealthy range. Those who are sensitive should limit time outdoors. An air quality alerts remains in effect for Newaygo, Oceana, and Mecosta counties throughout Thursday. While cloud cover will limit the sunset this evening, the wildfire smoke can make the sunset look a bit more vibrant. As the light interacts with the smoke in the lower levels of the atmosphere, the sun tends to look bright red.

Severe storms expected Thursday
(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — Severe thunderstorms are often expected over eastern Colorado in early June. The image below from the Colorado Climate Center shows a smoothed version of severe weather days over a two-week running mean (thick black lines). Significant severe weather reports are also represented over a running two-week mean (thinner blue line). For tornadoes, the frequency ramps up through May and reaches a peak in early June, with a slow decline through the summer and into the fall. The graph for severe hail looks similar, but shifted a little later: the peak is in mid-June. Wind reports from severe thunderstorms are more frequent later in the summer, with a peak in early to mid-July. An average of all three types of severe weather reports puts the climatological peak of severe weather on June 10, so no big surprise we've got some in the forecast for the end of the week. For Thursday, storms will strengthen as they move or develop over the eastern plains. Severe storms are certainly possible along the Front Range, but are a little more likely from Trinidad to Cheyenne Wells and most likely in the southeast corner of the state. It is likely that a severe thunderstorm and/or tornado watch will be issued for parts of eastern Colorado later on today. A WATCH means that ingredients are present for the possible formation of severe thunderstorms, and you should pay attention. It's similar to Mom or Dad putting the ingredients for tacos out on the kitchen counter – get ready. A WARNING is like the tray of assembled tacos arriving at the table – it's time to take action! Know the difference and be ready later today. Download the FOX21 StormTeam app for Apple or Android to get a digital door knock from us in the weather center when storms are heading your way.

Smoky skies, local air quality impacts continues today
We're continuing to monitor the Canadian wildfire smoke and how it is impacting our local air quality. We're also watching a cold front approaching from the northwest today. That passing boundary and its associated precipitation should be able to 'wash' the atmosphere clean of the smoke by Friday. Until that 'wash' happens, we should expect another day of local air quality impacts. The hazy, smoky sunshine will illuminate the landscape in a unique, dull look just as we have become accustomed to the last few days. Similar to every other day this week, the smoke will remain high up in the atmosphere. That will result in another day with a 'Moderate' Air Quality Index readout. This means that the most sensitive groups (elderly, infants/toddlers, those with breathing problems/respiratory conditions) should take it extra easy if outside, especially as we toss more heat and humidity into the forecast today.
