Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
318 PM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024
...Low humidity continues, but a bit warmer Monday...
.DISCUSSION...
Last remnants of cloud cover will diminish this evening
leading to dropping temperatures and a chilly start to Monday
morning. Monday afternoon/evening will see light winds, ample
sunshine, and temperatures 5-10 degrees warmer than experienced
on Sunday. This will allow relative humidity values to drop a bit
more down into the 30s on Monday, though late winds will keep
conditions fairly benign. Clouds and humidity start to move back
into Lower Michigan late Monday night, with a return to more
typical conditions for the week ahead.
