Spot Forecast for Fuji Rx...USDA Hiawatha NF
National Weather Service Marquette MI
1058 AM EDT Mon May 13 2024

Forecast is based on ignition time of 0800 EDT on May 14.
If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather
Service.

.DISCUSSION...Primary forecasting challenge at this spot location
will be wind direction. Winds are expected to be north, shifting to
northwest in the afternoon. But if a lake breeze develops within the
low pressure gradient Tuesday, the wind may shift to northeast.
Timing for when this would be most likely appears to be between 2 and
5pm local time. Otherwise, temperatures should climb through the
50s through the day, peaking in the upper 50s. This should yield
minimum RH values near 40%. Overnight, good RH recovery is expected.
