...ELEVATED WILDFIRE POTENTIAL FOR MOST OF THE UPPER PENINSULA
DUE TO A COMBINATION OF GUSTY WINDS, DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS...

arrival of rain showers late. Locally higher wind gusts up to 35
mph are possible late in the day across far western Upper
Michigan.

Avoid outdoor burning today. Immediately report any wildfires
to local emergency services by calling 911.
