Grand Rapids, MI – Western Michigan residents can expect a cooler day today, with temperatures ranging from the upper 60s to mid-70s. The region will see mostly sunny skies, providing a pleasant contrast to the unusually hot summer. However, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Grand Rapids has issued a wind advisory, warning of northeast winds that could gust up to 20 mph by the afternoon.
According to the NWS, today’s high temperatures will reach 72°F in Grand Rapids and up to 75°F in Muskegon, with similar conditions across much of the western part of the state. This weather pattern is significantly cooler than average for August, offering some relief from recent heatwaves.
