Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
221 AM EDT Fri Jul 24 2026

...Rain chances return this weekend...

.DISCUSSION...Another precip-free day with mostly sunny skies
is on tap across northern MI today. High temps expected to vary a
couple of degrees on either side of 80 with RHs similar to
yesterday...bottoming out in the 30-40% range for most areas, with
low probabilities for localized 25-30% readings.  Shower/storm
chances gradually return Saturday, primarily for far northern areas,
before those chances sag south across the remainder of northern
lower later Saturday into Sunday, and continue at various times into
early next week. Generally light southwest winds today become a bit
breezier for Saturday.
