Hey there, West Michigan.
I'm meteorologist Michael Baron.
Thanks for watching 13 Plus.
It was a beautiful day across West Michigan.
Comfortable temperatures, ample sunshine.
A few popup clouds this afternoon as seen
by this view from the Muskegon River.
Thanks to Bill for sending this,
but otherwise no real concerns today.
We will see a continued rise in heat tomorrow
and a little bit of air quality concern,
but more on that in just a mome.
Of course, if you take a weather photo,
we always love to share it here 13 on your
side You can send it to me on social media,
meteorologist Michael Barons on
Facebook and at Mike Barons WX
on Twitter and on Instagram.
Graham high temperatures today t
81 in Grand Rapids, 80 Muskegon,
79 in Holland and 85 in Kalamazo
near average and a bullseye with
the forecast hit 81 tol.
G81 brings the accuracy streak o
12 days in a row with only three
misses in the last month.
The forecast team When it comes to tomorrow,
warmer temperatures continue to
be in the forecast.
That's why 13 weather ball is lp
in red with warmer temperatures ahead.
The 13 weather ball is sponsorey
La Fontaine, Lincoln, Grand Raps
and of course those temperature.
They will cool off before we
get to that warmer weather.
In fact, dew points tonight are
still hanging around in the 50s.
That means we're going to drop r
temperatures eventually overnigt
into the low 60s and mid to
upper 50s by tomorrow morning.
So cool start to the day,
but otherwise not too bad.
Winds continue to be mostly from the north,
but we're starting to see a shit
overlake Michigan that'll bring
in southwesterly flow as we.
Head into this week and a return
to the humidity by the time
we head toward Monday night,
but between now and then,
nothing but nice weather, clear skies,
overnight temperatures falling.
Will be up in the mid 80s tomorrow with
nothing but sunshine and some h.
As we head through your Monday,
we'll start the day at 58 warm
to 86 by the afternoon.
Tuesday humidity is back.
So are some rain and storm chans
temperatures still on the warm e
hanging around 85 for Tuesday afternoon.
The other thing to watch out with with
the haze as we head toward tomo,
that's going to be air quality cleaner
action day in place for Muskegon, Ottawa,
Allegan, Van Buren and Kent counties.
As we head through the day on Monday,
air quality going to be in the
unhealthy for sensitive groups category.
Which means anyone with any
kind of health issue,
respiratory issue that makes you more
prone to the effects of low air quality,
make sure you limit your exposue
outside As we head through tomo.
The radar out there still quiet for now,
but as we take a look back toward the West,
we see a little bit of rain
coming toward the UP that will
eventually make its way toward .
But not till late Monday night
and into the day on Tuesday.
So let's go and time things out for you
hour by hour here Shows pretty t
weather as we head through Mond.
Lots of sunshine, some haze, maybe an.
Afternoon cloud or two,
but that would be about it.
The bigger concern is going to
be the air quality tomorrow.
I will have,
of course,
the lower quality throughout the day,
the rain chances they can come n
as we head through Monday night
and into early Tuesday.
Up from the north,
we see showers and storms work
their way through West Michigans
we head toward lunchtime Tuesda,
pushing out as we head toward
Tuesday afternoon.
Small risk a few of those storms
may be on the gusty side,
so make sure you're staying up
to date on the latest forecast s
we continue to track that risk
heading into the weekend.
Ahead between now and then thou,
quiet weather Monday.
Temperatures hanging around in
the 80s on Lakeshore,
hazy conditions with mid to lows
across the waterfront will stayn
the mid 80s for our northern zos
with more mid 80s getting close to upper 80s.
As you go from Grand Rapids down
to Kalamazoo for your Monday 13,
your side 10 day outlook
that shows temperatures that
stay warm to start the week,
but we cooled down by Wednesdays
showers and storms push into the region.
Some of those linger as we
head into Thursday. Thursday.
Another round comes late
Friday night into Saturday.
Humidity sticks around through most of
this 10 day forecast as temperas
they stay near to above average,
the 13 on your side beach
and boating forecast
sponsored by a A/C credit union.
And time for your beach and voting forecast.
We will see a few concerns with
the wave activity as we head
through the day on Monday.
Waves will start the day pretty calm,
but build toward 5 feet on the
northern and central portions of Lake,
MI by the afternoon.
That's when beach hazard
statements go into effect as
well as small craft advisories.
If you do want to head to the w,
calmer conditions will be felt m
Ottawa County down to the Southh
one to two foot waves in the forecast.
That's where the warmer temperas
are to mid 60s to low 70s from
Grand Haven to the South.
So that's where I would go if Is
going to pick a beach day for Monday.
Avoid those bigger waves further
to the north.
And a couple who are just months
into calling West Michigan homee
created a first of its kind business,
as well as some buzz to go
around it just in time as well
for the warm summer weather.
13 on Your Side's Rally
Mac has this sweet story.
When you hear ice cream float,
you don't usually think of this. No worries.
I've been taking a lot of damp .
Megan Ward and Isaiah Kinney have done
a lot in their first year of marriage.
Brand new rookie year.
Yeah, softly playing over
the hum of their motor.
Customers flock like seagulls
when they hear this.
The best part is we get a lot of funny looks.
So you can't drive a truck on the lake.
Figured a boat with ice creams,
the next best thing.
On board a former teacher who
found a new way to work with ki.
It's all of the fun parts
of hanging out with kids.
Essentially none of the hard
parts that also come along with
being a classroom setting.
And kids like adults too.
You can see the the child come out in
every adult when they see an ice cream boat.
Aside from captaining,
Isaiah has quite the day job.
I'm a pop tart maker,
the two person crew.
Excitement. That's the best part about this
making a surprising splash in the market.
Once we got up here and realized
that there really weren't
any food boats in the area,
we thought it would work pretty well.
After moving from West Virginia,
their dream wouldn't stay frozen long.
It was a whirlwind of decisions,
very rash, rash decisions,
but they all work now.
They can't make it 20 feet witht
docking for a new customer.
Can we get you some ice cream? I
get to spend all day on the
boat and I get to sell ice
cream and make everyone's day.
It definitely makes it worth it.
Maybe there's something in the water,
Klondike, 2 Klondikes.
Or maybe their customers recogne
what it looks like. It works.
It panned out when hope floats.
Having somebody to do it with I
think makes all the difference.
And the Ice cream Afloat Boat vs
bodies of water all over West Michigan.
You can see will there be by
checking their Facebook page.
We have a link to that on our
website 13 on yourside.com.
And while we've had enjoyable weather
here in West Michigan for the past week,
we did see an alarming trend of record
shattering heat elsewhere across the country,
the Earth's temperature actually reaching
an all time high four days in a.
Extreme heat was felt across the country

A/B C's Victor Aquendo reports from Miami.
After four straight days
of record temperatures,
the world enduring its hottest week ever.
And tonight, experts are sounding the alarm.
Heat waves are incredibly dange.
They don't show the outward sigs

so it's important to prioritize your health.
And take proactive steps during extreme heat
and it's record heat from West Palm Beach,
FL to Caribou ME to Arizona
where they've recorded over 110
degrees for seven straight days

All of us are going to be at ri,
especially as we get even hotter next week.
The state of Florida known for heat and
humidity now facing its hottest year.
Some cities feeling close to 110 degrees.
Miami Fire Rescue ready to deply
this specially equipped bus.
Normally used for mass casualty incidents,
we'll take this amble bus that we use to
transport patients that have been injured
and turn it into a cooling stat.
So you can see we have ample seating in here.
We had somebody who needed to lay down.
We can actually let them lay down here
to cool off and it's just an ara
that gets them out of the eleme.
And then direct air condition environment
tonight, a new push to protect
outdoor workers from the brutal heat.
Construction and farm workers in
Florida are calling for paid 10 minute
water breaks and rest every two hours
if the heat index rises above 90 degrees.
And here in Florida, along with
the extreme heat stifling humidy
which has been well above avera,
