Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
548 AM EDT Wed May 29 2024

.DISCUSSION...High pressure building into the area today will draw
very dry Canadian air south into the region. This should result
in minimum afternoon RH values of 30% or lower inland through Friday.
However, winds will not be very strong. The next chance for
appreciable rainfall will not arrive before this weekend.
