Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
325 AM EDT Fri Aug 1 2025

...Dry weather through much of next week...

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will dominate the weather pattern through at
least early next week. This will provide mile temperatures
and much less humid conditions. Fire danger is expected to only
increase through early next week with no rain expected, and
the ongoing drought conditions. Winds will remain on the light
side for the next week, limiting the fire danger a bit.
