Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
325 PM EDT Sun Aug 24 2025

.DISCUSSION...Showery and cool weather is expected to start the
week, along with persistent west to northwest winds. Winds will
be gusty during the day the next few days due to good diurnal
mixing. The good diurnal mixing is also represented by relatively
high mixing heights. Temperatures will moderate for the second
half of the week, and rain chances will return after a midweek
break.
