FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR UPPER MICHIGAN...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Marquette MI
614 AM EDT Wed Jul 29 2026
.DISCUSSION...
No fire weather concerns are expected today through the rest of the
week as high pressure ridging today gives way to rain showers and
non-severe thunderstorms late Thursday into Saturday. While we could
see some showers and thunderstorms this afternoon thanks to the lake
breezes, expect the convection to be limited to the interior west
and central at up to around a 30% chance; aside for some isolated
spots, no wetting rainfall (quarter inch or greater) is expected
this afternoon. With more showers and non-severe thunderstorms
coming late Thursday into Saturday, we could see a wetting rainfall
across the area for at least one day across the entire U.P. (40-75%
chance according to the NBM), with the greatest chances over the
west; this will hopefully alleviate drought conditions over in the
western portions of Upper Michigan. MinRHs remain above 30% and
winds remain light through the rest of this week into next week.
