Grand Rapids, Michigan is enjoying a refreshing return to sunny weather accompanied by significantly lower humidity levels on August 21, 2025. The latest forecasts indicate mostly sunny skies throughout the day, with temperatures reaching a comfortable high of around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

This pleasant weather is expected to continue into the evening with a low temperature dropping to a cool 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Light winds from the northeast at 5-10 mph are contributing to the lower humidity, making outdoor activities more enjoyable for residents and visitors alike.

Those planning to head to the beaches today will find that Lake Michigan beach temperatures are predicted to be in the mid-70s, with water temperatures ranging from the 60s to the 70s, allowing for comfortable swimming conditions. Clear skies tonight will provide excellent opportunities for stargazing, with winds calming down and making for a peaceful evening outdoors.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, Friday’s forecast promises continuing sunshine and blue skies. With minimal winds and no rain expected, it will be another lovely day for outdoor activities. However, as the weekend approaches, varying weather conditions are anticipated. On Saturday, the weather is expected to turn partly sunny, with the potential for scattered showers in the afternoon as a cold front moves through the area. Wind gusts could reach up to 30 mph, changing the tranquility of the previous days.

The high temperature on Saturday is anticipated to remain in the upper 70s, but residents can expect drier conditions during the morning and late evening hours. Following Saturday, the forecast turns cooler as the Great Lakes region braces for a drop in temperatures from Sunday through Wednesday, with highs falling to the low 70s and a chance that Monday’s temperatures may struggle to reach the 60s.

The onset of cooler weather brings with it rain forecasts, particularly on Sunday and Monday, with lake-effect cold rain showers likely contributing to a shift toward early fall conditions. This change could impact outdoor plans and outdoor events, as many may need to prepare for cooler, wetter weather following the current spell of pleasant conditions.

In summary, Grand Rapids residents can currently enjoy the delight of sunny skies and lower humidity, perfect for outdoor activities. However, they should prepare for shifting weather patterns as the weekend unfolds, transitioning to cooler temperatures and the possibility of rain early next week.
