GRAND RAPIDS, MI (WHTC) – The beaches and pools will be packed this weekend as temperatures could reach into the 90’s by Saturday.
Ernie Ostuno meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, says the dew points will be very high making it a humid weekend ahead. The humid air will begin on Friday and if the mercury rises that high again on Saturday, it will make it the first time since July 19th, 2013 that the state has experienced consecutive 90-degree days.
The heat wave isn’t expected to last very long though as it will cool off into the low 80’s next week.
Sunday is National Ice Cream day and the Captain Sundae at 365 Douglas will be featuring an ice cream called “Michigan Pothole” made locally by Ashby’s. Owner Karen VanDam says a portion of the sales will go to the Michigan road fund to fix the roads.
The ice cream is a chocolate based ice cream with chocolate tar and asphalt chocolate fudge pieces.
