861 FXUS63 KGRR 161124 AFDGRR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 724 AM 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 /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 719 AM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024 High pressure east of the region will continue to dominate the weather through the period. This feature will keep the atmosphere relatively dry and winds mostly under 15 knots. Patchy fog early this morning may lead to local impacts through 13z or so. Another round of patchy fog is expected tonight and KJXN looks most prone to that impact. As has happened each of the past few days, an onshore wind is likely to develop again this afternoon. && .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...
