FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR UPPER MICHIGAN
National Weather Service Marquette MI
547 AM EDT Sun May 5 2024

...High pressure yields a dry period...

.DISCUSSION: High pressure builds in over the Great Lakes through
Monday morning, shifting east toward southern Ontario through
Monday evening as it weakens. This results in a dry period with
efficient mixing. Minimum RHs are expected in the 30s, however
some upper 20s are possible near the Wisconsin/Michigan state
line. With recent precipitation as well as stronger winds above 15
mph only expected in areas where RHs will be above critical
thresholds, no fire weather concerns are expected today. Some lake
breezes likely will develop this afternoon.

Monday will be warmer with more widespread lower RHs. That being
said, winds are expected to be even lighter keeping fire weather
concerns at bay. The best chances for borderline elevated
conditions will be over the interior west. Stronger lake breezes
are expected to develop again during the afternoon.

Chances for showers return on Tuesday accompanied by some breezy
winds.
