10 PM Saturday June 6th Skywatcher Update: They are getting closer! Look for Venus and Jupiter in the western sky. They are approaching their conjunction on Tuesday, June 9th, but clouds could intefere with the view then. It's clear in West Michigan this evening, though, except for the tops of distant thunderstorms over Indiana and Ohio barely visible on the far southern horizon. You might even see lightning with one of those distant storms!

Temperatures will be on the rise by the middle of this upcoming week. Highs of 85 to 90 coupled with very high humidity will send heat index readings well into the 90s to potentially near 100 away from and outside of any thunderstorms that develop. The Heat Risk map shows Thursday's heat potential, with moderate to major heat impacts possible, impacting especially heat-sensitive individuals. If storm chances increase, widespread heat impacts would be lessened, so monitor the latest forecast information.

Warm and dry conditions will persist through the weekend. The next chance for rain will be late next week. Couple those conditions with gusty winds and there is a recipe for any fire's to get out of control. Please be careful and check local burning restrictions. The biggest area of concern is along and north of the US 10 corridor.
