Ed there, West Michigan.
Thanks for watching 13 Plus.
I'm meteorologist Michael Baron.
It was a rainy start to the day out there.
Some Thunder as well.
But as we headed into the after,
the temperatures came up a little bit,
the sunshine came out and it
was a beautiful end to the day.
Speaking of a beautiful view,
this was the 13 weather
ball shortly before sunset,
lit up in red with those
warmer temperatures ahead.
Evening out there, Very comforte
weather today across West Michi.
Of course,
if you take any whiter photos out there,
you can always send to me on sol
media meteorologist Michael Bars
on Facebook and at Mike Barons
WX on Twitter and on Instagram.
Speaking of those temperatures again today,
it was a comfortable afternoon,
very much not like summer 72
in Grand Rapids and Fremont,
75 in Muskegon,
and even 68 for the high in Big Rapids
today didn't even make it out of the 60s.
This afternoon a temperature came just
inside or three degree guarantee told
you 74 hit 72 brings the accuray
streak now to 11 days in a row h
three misses in the last month.
The forecast team.
When it comes to tomorrow,
we're looking at warmer temperas
ahead and that's why the weather
ball was and still is lit up in.
The 13 weather
ball is sponsored by La Fontain,
Lincoln, Grand Rapids.
Those temperatures tonight thou,
They will get cool before that
warmer weather gets here tomorr.
In fact, as of about 1017,
already down into the low to
mid 60s across West Michigan.
Dew points dropping into the 50s
tonight as well will mean comfortable
air on the way for tomorrow.
Winds tonight and tomorrow
coming mostly from the north,
going to keep things very
nice as we head into Sunday.
Low humidity,
lots of sunshine and comfortable
temperatures will fall to the 50s tonight,
but we're right back up close
to 80 as we head towards.
Tomorrow afternoon,
again under ample sunshine.
That overnight low is 56,
will be up to 81 tomorrow for the high.
Those temperatures keep on climbing though.
As we head toward Monday,
some haze comes back to the fort
along with a very warm high of 86 degrees.
Come Monday afternoon,
the radar still shows a little
bit of rain on the east side of
the state from what came through
our region earlier today,
but no more rain for the rest of the weekend.
Clear skies.
Stretching back out through Wisconsin,
you can see a little bit of moisture in
northeastern Wisconsin and into the UP,
but that's not going to make it
toward us here in West Michigan.
In fact,
our forecast is looking very
quiet as we head through tonigh.
Mostly clear skies in place, mostly sunny.
As we head into your Sunday afternoon,
could we see a stray pop up
somewhere in Michigan?
It's a possibility.
It's not one that I'm really excited about.
So I'm expecting dry weather for almost all
of us as we head through the day tomorrow.
We're in the clear skies as we d
through Sunday night with sunshine and.
Some haze as we head
through the day on Monday,
but no rain to kick the week of.
Just warming temperatures,
the humidity that starts to come
back as we head toward Tuesday,
along with some rain and storm chances.
You can see them working their way into
northwestern portions of Michigan as we
head into the early AM hours of your Tuesday,
and there is a risk a few of those could come
across the lake with some gustiness to them.
There's a severe weather risk on
the northern side of the Lower
Peninsula and up into the UP,
but not here in West Michigan,
at least not in the 13 on
your side viewing area,
though we will keep a close eye
on the storms Tuesday and into
the day on Wednesday temperaturs
before we get to the midweek,
though they'll be comfortable fr
tomorrow hanging around upper
70s to low 80s for the lake.
Shore once you get to Ludington,
more like mid 70s inland away from Lakeshore.
Northern counties will be in the upper 70s,
low 80s by Greenville.
Those temperatures will be in
the low 80s for Grand Rapids all
the way down to Kalamazoo 13.
Inside 10 day outlook that shows
temperatures that jump right
back up as we
head toward Monday and Tuesday.
Again, scattered showers and sts
come into the picture as we geto
your Tuesday, Wednesday as well.
Temperatures will be back down
near normal by the end of the w,
but the humidity doesn't go awa.
Way that'll keep storm chances in the
cards for Friday and Saturday as well.
Drier weather, at least for now,
as we head toward the end of the 10 day,

And here's your latest
beach and boating forecast.
If you're heading out to
enjoy that sunshine tomorrow,
it's going to be pretty calm was
on Lake MI, though there will be
a little bit of wave activity,
mostly around 1:00 to 2 feet for central
and northern portions of Lake M.
Calmest waters on the southern
end of the lake?
Only about a foot,
with those winds coming in
around 5 to 15 mph.
The waves in the water temperatures have
cooled down some as we headed into Saturday.
Not as many 70s on the lake,
though some were still
existing in Berrien County.
Though temperatures remain in te
mid to upper 60s and we should e
70s return as we head into this week,
with all that great weather on
the way Sunday, you may need
to break out the sunscreen.
Brandon Lewis from our National
Verify team looks into if you'll
get the same result from spray n
sunscreen as you do with the lotions.
Walk into your favorite store ad
you'll see a wall of choices to
protect your skin from the sun.
A Verify viewer texted us,
asking about the difference betn
spray on and lotion sunscreens.
So let's verify our spray on
sunscreens as effective as loti.
Our sources are Harvard Health and two
board certified dermatologists to explain.
It's all about how you apply sunscreen.
I think it's easier with
the lotion to make sure that
you're getting full coverage.
With a spray you not you
may not be as careful,
so that is a consideration.
With the spray. Doctor
Rajani Kanta also says despite
the advertising, you can't
simply spray and go. I recommend
that you spray and then you make
sure that you rub it in so that
you're not missing any of those.
You know you're not missing any spots
Harvard Health found when spray.
Most people apply just 1/4 of what they need.
Researchers recommend spraying
each area for up to six seconds.
You know that you have enough
when your skin glistens.
If it's not glistening, gotta put more.
But Dr. Danilo del Campo says tt
doesn't mean sprays, when used properly,
are any less effective than lot.
Between a lotion, it has SPF
30 and a spray that's SPF 30.
They are equivalent. However,
the difference is how do we
apply it and the meth that we
apply. So we can verify,
yes, spray on sunscreens are
as effective as lotions.
However, they may be more diffit
to use correctly than lotions.
The doctors also say parents may want
to use lotions for their childrn
because it's harder to spray a d
coating when kids are squirming around.
But you're verify. I'm Brandon Lewis.

And about Sunny weather
takes you over to the beach.
Remember to look out for
dangers such as rip currents.
They've led to nearly a dozen
deaths in the US in June alone,
verifies Ariane De Till has whau
need to know in order to stay s.
Rip currents are powerful,
narrow channels of fast moving water.
They can form in a gap between sandbars,
Piers or parts of a reef.
Normally underwater obstacles me
waves crash onto the shore instd
of washing back into the sea.
But when there's a clearing,
water can get sucked back
out like water in a drain,
creating a rip current.
And in just the blink of an eye,
it can pull you far away from the shore.
A Facebook post shared more than 9000
times claims it's possible to sa
rip current when you're on the beach.
So let's verify all of our sours
agree it is possible to spot a p
current when you're at the beac,
but your vantage point matters.
Greg Dusik,
a senior scientist with the
National Ocean Service,
says the best way to spot a rip
current is to be at an elevated
position away from the water's ,
like a beach access.
So what should you look for?
Rip currents often appear
as a narrow gap of darker,
seemingly calmer water between s
of breaking waves and white wat.
The National Weather Service sas
wearing polarized sunglasses
can help you spot a rip current
because they allow you to see me
contrast in the colors in the w.
Don't have sunnies?
Look for a line of foam,
seaweed or debris moving away from shore.
That's a sign there could be a
rip current so we can verify.
Yes, it is possible to spot a rip current,
but it's easier to do so from
a higher vantage point.
If you do get caught up in a current,
don't swim against the current.
Instead, swim parallel to the shoreline.
Once you're free from the pull
of the current,
start swimming on an angle back
towards shore with your verify.
I'm adeante Till.
And once you head back home ande
heat cranks back up later this ,
one of the toughest things about summer is
staying cool without breaking the bank.
So how can you use a ceiling fan
to help maximize your savings?
Brandon Lewis is back with this Verify
temperatures are soaring across the country,
and that's prompting many of yoo
ask about ways to help keep your
home cool without breaking the .
One Verify viewer texted us to k
if keeping their ceiling fans on when
they're not home can help cool the room.
So. Let's verify our sources
are the Department of Energy,
the University of Florida,
and the North Carolina Advanced
Energy Corporation.
The University of Florida expla.
Ceiling fans don't change
the temperature of a room.
Instead, they work by moving air around.
When the air passes over your b,
it carries heat away and helps
your sweat evaporate,
both of which make you feel coo.
So no, leaving a ceiling fan onn
you're not home will not cool A room.
In fact,
the Department of Energy recomms
you turn off your fan when you
leave the room because their
motors actually produce heat.
When you do use a fan,
make sure it's spinning counterclockwise,
which pushes the air down to yo,
whether you or verify.
