277 FXUS63 KGRR 161830 AFDGRR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 230 PM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Dry and Warm Weather Continues This Week && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 312 AM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024 Upper level ridging will continue to dominate the wx pattern bringing a continuation of dry and warm wx through the upcoming week with high temps in the 80s daily. An overall medium range guidance consensus suggests that any showers tied to the remnants of whatever becomes of potential tropical cyclone eight will stay southeast of our area as ridging continues to dominate the pattern here. However some cloud cover from this system could move in by Wednesday and Thursday and potentially keep high temps a few degrees cooler than what will be experienced today and tomorrow. The above to much above normal temps will persist right through next weekend with dry wx to continue. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 227 PM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024 High pressure will continue to dominate the weather through the period. There will be a brief period early tomorrow morning with a narrow window of MVFR vsbys, between 09Z and 13Z. As the region continues to get drier by the day this area shrinks. JXN, AZO, BTL and LAN are possible with JXN having the best chance of seeing MVFR vsbys. Any reductions will be short lived with light winds continuing tomorrow. && .MARINE... Issued at 312 AM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024 Tranquil conditions will continue on Lake Michigan through the upcoming week with wave heights of only around a foot or less and offshore winds. && .GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
