Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
233 PM EDT Sat Jul 12 2025

...Drier and Quieter Sunday...

.DISCUSSION...
Remaining humid/muggy into tonight with a slight chance for
additional showers or thunderstorms this evening as a second cold
front swings through. Drying out some on Sunday...with afternoon RHs
dropping into the 35-45 percent range across the interior; driest
areas should be between Lake Huron and the higher terrain where
downsloping should be favored on generally westerly flow 5-10mph
gusting as high as 15-20mph...though there could be a southerly wind
component off Saginaw Bay in the afternoon. Highs recover into the
upper 70s to lower 80s Sunday but could end up a touch cooler due to
Canadian smoke aloft, which could reduce RHs and limit mixing
heights more than expected.
