Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
355 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024

...Morning Fog Then A Dry Day Until Chance Storm Tonight...

.DISCUSSION...
Areas of dense fog this morning will quickly evaporate within
a few hours after sunrise as good to excellent mixing occurs
through the day. Scattered patches of clouds expected today
but we will likely stay rain-free until late in the evening
or overnight. Storms from Wisconsin may cross Lake Michigan
late this evening but models suggest they may weaken
overnight somewhere over Lower Michigan. A rogue shower or
thunderstorm may develop on Tuesday but better chances for
showers or storms are expected between Tuesday night and
mid day Wednesday.
