Weekend warmth expected as 80s continue in West Michigan

Summer-like temperatures to stick around through weekend

West Michigan residents can expect a continuation of summer-like temperatures this weekend, with highs in the low 80s expected on Saturday and Sunday.

The warm weather is due to a ridge of high pressure that has settled over the Midwest. This ridge is expected to remain in place through the weekend, keeping temperatures well above normal for this time of year.

Temperatures to cool slightly next week

While the weekend will be warm, temperatures are expected to cool slightly next week. Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 70s on Monday and Tuesday, before dropping into the low 70s by Wednesday.

The cooling trend is due to a cold front that is expected to move through the area on Tuesday. This front will bring with it a chance of showers and thunderstorms, but no severe weather is expected.

Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts

With the summer season winding down, this weekend is a great opportunity to enjoy the warm weather while it lasts.

Here are a few ideas for activities to do this weekend:

• Go for a swim at one of West Michigan's many beautiful beaches.
• Have a picnic in the park.
• Go for a hike or bike ride on one of West Michigan's many trails.
• Attend a local festival or event.

No matter how you choose to spend your weekend, make sure to enjoy the warm weather while it lasts!
