FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR UPPER MICHIGAN
National Weather Service Marquette MI
601 AM EDT Sun Oct 12 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Little to no fire weather concerns given mild RHs and incoming
precipitation chances, however, a strong low pressure lifting NE
from the Plains to the Hudson Bay today through Monday will create
gusty southerly winds upwards of 25 to 35 mph this afternoon through
early Monday. There is a 50-70% chance for southerly wind gusts
greater than 30 mph this afternoon into Monday morning, particularly
for favored downsloping locations of the western and central Lake
Superior shorelines. Despite strong southerly flow, minimum RHs are
only expected to fall as low as 50-60%, lowest in the interior west.
Late tonight, moreso Monday morning, the system`s occluded front
presses west to east across the UP, introducing light rainfall
across the area, generally less than 0.25" by Monday night. Dry and
seasonable weather returns midweek.
