Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
326 AM EDT Sat Oct 18 2025

...Wet Period of Weather Ahead...

.DISCUSSION... Shower coverage will increase with time across
northeast lower today as a cold front stalls overhead.
Anticipating a lull in activity later this afternoon into the
evening before a strong area of low pressure brings a soaking, to
even heavy rain to the region later tonight into Sunday. As such,
with heightened RHs and a high intrusion of surface moisture, fire
danger will be low through the weekend.
