Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
408 AM EDT Sat Jun 15 2024

...Rain-free weather persists today...

.DISCUSSION...Rain-free weather will continue through this afternoon with high
pressure overhead. Cloud cover will begin to spread from west to
east across the area later this afternoon and evening ahead of our
next round of rain chances returning later tonight and Sunday.
Mainly light south-southeast winds around 5-10 mph will be in place
today with potential lake breeze formation pushing inland from the
lakeshores this afternoon. High temperatures are expected to get
into the upper 70s and low 80s for most of northern lower Michigan
today, with cooler highs in the low 70s across the furthest
northeast counties. Near-critical RHs are anticipated for a time
this afternoon across parts of interior northern Michigan -- most
likely along and west of I-75 where the warmest afternoon
temperatures are expected.
