FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
646 AM EDT FRI MAY 24 2013

...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES THE NEXT FEW DAYS...

.DISCUSSION...FANTASTIC LATE MAY WEATHER LOOKS TO BE IN PLACE
FROM TODAY RIGHT ON THROUGH THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY
WEEKEND...COURTESY OF A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY
BUILDING FROM CENTRAL CANADA DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES.
DAYS WILL FEATURE A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE... ALONG WITH SLOWLY
WARMING TEMPERATURES...WHILE NIGHTS WILL BE CLEAR AND CHILLY.
WARMER AND MORE HUMID WEATHER WILL MAKE A RETURN TOWARD THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK...AS WILL CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL MEET OR SLIGHTLY EXCEED CRITICAL
THRESHOLDS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS EACH DAY
OF THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. WINDS AND TEMPERATURES WILL NOT REACH
CRITICAL THRESHOLDS HOWEVER.
