Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
350 AM EDT Sun Aug 3 2025

...Dry and warm through mid-week

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure remains over the area today, and will continue
to remain in some degree through mid-week. This combined
with low moisture levels and no significant advection of moisture
into the area will allow for dry conditions to remain. Low
chances of rain will arrive by late in the week with somewhat
better moisture, but most areas will likely stay dry.
