Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
237 AM EDT Mon Aug 4 2025

...Remaining dry with slow warming...

.DISCUSSION... High pressure will continue to slowly work
across the area, resulting in the continuation of rain-free weather
through at least the middle of the week. Some shower chances return
toward the end of the week into the weekend, but no indications of
anything widespread or significant. Temperatures will continue to
warm, with highs today through Thursday mostly in the 80s.
Combination of these warm temperatures and limited low level
moisture will result in afternoon relative humidity values dropping
to near or a bit below 40 percent each afternoon through Thursday.
Again, most encouraging news is winds look to largely remain below
critical levels for the next several days.
