Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
346 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024

...Low Chance of storms this evening, then Dry and Breezy Sunday...

.DISCUSSION...There`s a small chance of some isolated thunderstorms
reforming this evening. These risks are primarily along and south
of I-94, and along and north of US-10. Most locations will probably
remain dry for the rest of the day though. A cold front moves through
Lower Michigan later this evening and ushers in a few days of dry
weather. Relative humidity values will drop into the upper 30s to
upper 40s in inland locations Sunday afternoon/evening along with
some gusty winds, but soil moisture values remain fairly high for
this time of year given the recent rainfall.
