Sunny skies once again today as high pressure continues to dominate our weather here in West Michigan, thanks to the Omega Block pattern currently in place across the CONUS.

It will be a bit cooler than yesterday, especially the further north and east you are, with highs in the upper 60s to upper 70s. East winds will be between 10 and 25 MPH.

How to stay in touch with us:

Did you know that West Michigan Weather is on multiple social media and content creation platforms? Have you ever heard us say, "Have multiple ways to receive warnings?"

Well, the same applies to updates from us; make sure you have multiple ways to receive updates from us. We offer a variety of options so that you can always get the latest information from us.

Sometimes, technical difficulties and/or social media algorithms, either on your end or our end, may make it difficult or impossible for you to see our forecasts and live streams, leaving you vulnerable to dangerous weather hazards.

Thankfully, we don't see any hazardous weather in the near term, but it never hurts to have a plan, and we'd love it if you made us part of your plan by following us on every platform we offer.

Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/westmiwx
By far our most popular social media platform, so we spend a lot of time creating content here and interacting with all of you! Our page is 100% free to follow and features daily forecasts, informational posts, live weather coverage, and so much more!

YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/
Contrary to popular belief, our YouTube channel is 100% free to follow or "subscribe" to, as YouTube calls it. This platform offers push notifications for when we go live during weather coverage or when we do weather briefings ahead of significant events. We also post regular, non-live content here, including recaps, chase footage, and weather forecast updates in video form.

X (formerly Twitter)
https://www.x.com/westmiwx
Also, 100% free to follow us. This platform offers daily forecasts, informational posts, and live weather coverage!

Patreon
https://www.patreon.com/westmiwx
Patreon is unique. Patreon offers both 100% free AND paid membership plans. Everyone gets push notifications and emails when we issue new forecast posts or news updates. The special thing about Patreon is that it is a great way to support our efforts and get a little something in return as a thank you. Paid members on Patreon get early access, and often even exclusive access, to certain longer-range forecasts and early thoughts on potential hazardous weather setups. Patreon members also get early and exclusive access to our ever-popular School Closing Outlooks.

Instagram
https://www.instagram.com/westmichiganweather
Instagram is 100% free to follow and offers more of the story side of West Michigan Weather with more frequent photography-style content, but also offers daily forecast updates as well.

Website
https://www.westmichiganweather.net
As always, we also offer a website that hosts links to all of our social media content, more about our story and history, ways to get to know our team, and more detailed event reviews.

Happy Friday!

As noted in yesterday's weekend forecast update, simply beautiful weather is expected today with highs in the 70s near the immediate lakeshore to as high as the low 80s elsewhere.

Light southerly winds will slowly turn westerly throughout the day, around 5-15 MPH.

It's a near-perfect day for the beach today, with the one caveat still being the cold water temps.

While recent data does show that some of our far southern beaches, like Forest Beach, Grand Beach, Weko Beach, and Warren Dunes State Park, are seeing water temperatures around 60°F, this is still on the chilly side.

Water temperatures to the north of I-94 are still very much in the 40s and 50s. So, bottom line, be sure to watch for signs of hypothermia if you do choose to swim today, as water temps this cold can result in hypothermia in as little as 30 minutes.

An absolutely beautiful weekend is on tap for West Michigan! Minimal clouds, plenty of sunshine, and warm temperatures will dominate the forecast.

Saturday will be slightly on the cooler side compared to the rest of the weekend, with highs only in the upper 60s to mid 70s before temps rebound on Sunday, but still an overall gorgeous day.

Very dry conditions are expected for the next 10+ days, with no measurable rainfall in the forecast for any part of West Michigan.

The NWS Climate Prediction Center's 6-10 Day Precipitation Outlook shows favored odds for below-normal precipitation across our region.

The good news right now is that there is currently no drought in Michigan, but that may be subject to change in the coming weeks, especially if this pattern holds.

Planning a beach day for your Thursday? It might be wise to reconsider, as dangerous currents, high wave action, and early-season cold water temperatures make for dangerous swimming conditions at all of our Lake Michigan beaches tomorrow.

Small Craft Advisories and Beach Hazard Statements are in effect, and swimming is strongly discouraged. It is also recommended that visitors avoid walking out on piers.

6:55 PM - As expected, rain showers, and ocassional thunderstorms, continue to work their way south and east along and ahead of the cold front this afternoon.

These storms have been behaving so far, but we are watching small hail and gusty wind potential with these cells.
