FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR UPPER MICHIGAN
National Weather Service Marquette MI
601 AM EDT Wed May 14 2025
...Limited Fire Weather Concerns Today, Mainly West Half...
.DISCUSSION... Fire weather concerns are limited to not expected
today as a more humid airmass approaches from the south and east.
Temperatures will be warm again, but a few degrees cooler than the
past several days. The interior west could push 90 while mid 80s to
mid 70s will be seen elsewhere. Cooler temps are again expected
closer to Lake Michigan. S to SE winds are forecast to be light with
gusts upwards of 10-15 kts. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
expected to develop mainly in the west half this afternoon, and with
RHs dropping between 40-50% a stray lightning strike could
potentially ignite a wildfire. Widespread soaking rains are not
expected under scattered showers/storm, however, a heavier storm
could produce spotty 0.1 to 0.25" of rain. More widespread rainfall
arrives Thursday through the weekend.
