Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
248 PM EDT Mon Jul 1 2024

...Increasing Rain Chances Tuesday...

.DISCUSSION... Clouds will overspread much of northern lower Michigan
tonight as low pressure slowly moves closer to Lake Superior, leading
to moisture increasing across the region. Shower chances infiltrate
northwest lower for much of the day, with lesser coverage east of I-75
(including Huron National Forest). High temps will be below normal,
generally topping out in the low-to-mid 70s. Increase in clouds will
lead to elevated RHs, though with somewhat of a split bag across the
region... 50s and 60s RHs across NW lower and upper 40s to lower 50s
across NE lower. All in all, still a pretty low fire risk day. Showers
and thunder expected Tuesday night, some localized amounts surpassing
1.00" of rainfall possible. This should deliver another jolt of
moisture to keep things on the greener side as the anomalously wet
growing season continues for most. Drier conditions build on Wednesday,
with highs in the 80s, but lingering moisture will keep RHs in the 50s.
