GRAND RAPIDS (WKZO-AM) — Get ready for a heat wave.
In fact, west Michigan is about to experience the hottest period of weather it’s had to endure in three years.
With the temperatures rarely making it above 90 degrees for the past two summers, some real summer weather is headed our way — the kind of weather we may not all be able to handle because we just haven’t acclimated to the really hot stuff.
Meteorologist Brian Meade at the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids said the heat and humidity will peak on Friday, and could crest above the 100-degree mark on the heat Index scale.
Meade said there are periodic threats of rain that could cool things off, or just make them more muggy depending on how much rain falls.
He said we may take small comfort in the notion that it’s almost always worse somewhere else. He said extreme heat advisories have already been issued in the central Plains States.
