National Weather Service Gaylord MI
234 AM EDT Tue Sep 8 2026

...Rain chances on the increase. Gusty winds Wednesday...

.DISCUSSION...The threat for showers will return today, with much

rain, although rain amounts should largely remain under half an inch
(of course may see some locally higher totals). Showers will come to
an end Wednesday, with rain-free weather returning for the remainder
of the work week. Relative humidity levels will remain fairly
elevated through Thursday, with a bit more aggressive drying
expected for Friday. South winds become a bit gusty today, at times
nearing or exceeding critical levels. Winds become southwest and
further increase in speed on Wednesday, with frequent critical level
gusts...at times exceeding 30 mph by the afternoon. Winds become
northwest and remain a bit gusty on Thursday.
