Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
208 PM EST Fri Nov 8 2024

...Breezy this afternoon; Rain chances arrive Sat. night-Sunday...

.DISCUSSION...Lingering northwest breeziness this afternoon gives
way to calm winds overnight as high pressure centers squarely
overhead. Increasing clouds late in the day Saturday in advance of
low pressure set to cross northern MI Saturday night - Sunday.
Increasing shower chances accompany this system to wrap up the
weekend, perhaps lingering into the day Monday. No RH concerns
foreseen through at least the next several days.
