Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
306 PM EDT Thu Jun 5 2025

...QUIET AND GENERALLY DRY WEATHER CONTINUES...

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure remains in control through most of the next couple
days...with prevailing generally NE flow light enough (5mph or less)
to allow for lake breezes during the afternoons. A few more mid/high
clouds around on Friday as a weak system passes by...with a sprinkle
or two; afternoon wind gusts around 15-20mph possible.
Overall...conditions very similar for the next couple days...with
afternoon RHs dropping into the 25-30 percent range again
Friday...and mixing heights again in the 6-8kft range across the
interior...perhaps a little lower closer to Lake Michigan. While
things should slowly start to moisten up Saturday as flow becomes
more S/SE...not impossible the dry air mass in place remains more
persistent...and could keep RHs on the lower side for yet another day.
