Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
319 PM EDT Fri Apr 4 2025

...Rain/ snow chances tonight into Saturday...

.DISCUSSION...

High pressure overhead will be pushed northeast as low pressure
works into the area. As a result, winds will shift southeast to
northwest after midnight and increase for Saturday (gusts up to 30
mph). Rain will spread from south to north tonight continuing
into Saturday before transitioning to a rain/snow mix Saturday
evening as light lake effect showers become possible through the
evening-- No RH concerns.
