FNUS53 KMQT 091001 FWFMQT FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR UPPER MICHIGAN National Weather Service Marquette MI 600 AM EDT Thu Jul 9 2026 .DISCUSSION... A few lingering rain showers will hang on in the south and east this morning but will clear out by the afternoon, leading to no precipitation in the forecast until at least Friday night. A warming trend in the temperatures is expected beginning today and lasting through the weekend, though RHs will be mostly similar day-to-day as dew points will rise in tandem with temperatures. While a few typical dry spots may drop below 30 percent RH in the afternoons, RHs are expected to be in the mid 30s to mid 40s percent ranges. With high pressure building and a lack of strong low pressures passing near the Great Lakes, weak pressure gradient will lead to light and variable winds, as wind gusts will only rarely exceed 15 mph through the weekend.
