FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
357 AM EDT FRI MAY 17 2013

...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER TO CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY...

.DISCUSSION...
CONDITIONS LOOK TO BE A SLIGHT BIT BETTER THAN THURSDAY WITH REGARD TO
FIRE DANGER...ALTHOUGH THE FIRE DANGER WILL REMAIN ELEVATED. MORE
CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF HEATING AND THE MIXING DOWN OF
DRIER AIR. CONDITIONS WILL ONCE AGAIN APPROACH RED FLAG CRITERIA...
HOWEVER WE EXPECT RH/S TO REMAIN JUST SHY OF THE RED FLAG
CRITERIA....WINDS TO REMAIN JUST UNDER CRITERIA WITH A FEW GUSTS TO
NEAR CRITERIA...AND TEMPS RIGHT AROUND THE THRESHOLD OF 75 DEGREES.

DEW POINTS SHOULD COME UP SOME OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE FLOW BECOMES
A LITTLE MORE SOUTHERLY AND MOISTURE WILL ADVECT INTO THE AREA. THIS
SHOULD KEEP RED FLAG CRITERIA FROM BEING REACHED.

FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
236 PM EDT THU MAY 16 2013

...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY...

.DISCUSSION...
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO FEED SLIGHTLY COOLER BUT
MOSTLY DRY AIR INTO SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE
WINDS BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY AND THE AIR BECOMES MORE MOIST.
THE COMBINATION OF CONTINUED DRY WEATHER...THAT IS RAINFALL
IS NOT EXPECTED AND AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY`S NEAR 25
PERCENT...WILL CONTINUE THE ELEVATED FIRE DANGER. I DO NOT EXPECT
RED FLAG CONDITIONS AT THIS POINT AS WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE
STRONG ENOUGH.

THE FIRST REAL THREAT OF A SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL WILL BE MONDAY
AS A STORM SYSTEM FROM THE PLAINS MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES.
ONCE THIS GETS INTO SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN IT IS EXPECTED TO RAIN FOR
SEVERAL DAYS IN A ROW. THAT SHOULD HELP TO REDUCE THE FIRE DANGER.
