Expires:No;;702766 FXUS63 KMQT 082337 AFDMQT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Marquette MI 737 PM EDT Mon Aug 8 2022 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tonight) Issued at 107 PM EDT MON AUG 8 2022 Radar imagery shows that the last of the rain showers has moved out of the east. Therefore, with ridging building in behind the shortwave producing these showers, expect dry conditions to persist throughout the rest of the day today and tonight. Sky conditions should improve this afternoon as the shortwave continues to pull away. However, with northerly winds and cool air behind the shortwave remaining over us this afternoon, expect highs to get no higher than 70 across Upper Michigan, with some spots in the north central (near Marquette and Munising) possibly not even reaching 60 today. Tonight, as the ridging builds in, some radiational fog looks to set up over the central and east due to the recent rainfall and lack of sunshine this afternoon. The fog may be dense in spots. Expect lows to be in the mid to upper 40s in the interior central and east, with everywhere else being in the 50s. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Monday) Issued at 256 PM EDT MON AUG 8 2022 Upper air pattern consists of a 500 mb trough over Central Canada with a ridge over most of the U.S. 12z Tue.
