DISCUSSION
LOW PRESSURE WILL BE DEPARTING TO THE NORTH AND

LOWER MICHIGAN TAPERS TO SOME FLURRIES CONFINED TO THE NW FLOW
SNOWBELTS. EXPECTING SUNNIER SKIES TO BUILD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
WITH DROPPING DEWPOINTS, SO RHS SHOULD DIP, BUT STAY WELL ABOVE
RED FLAG CRITERIA. IT WILL BE A BIT ON THE BREEZY SIDE... WITH GUSTS
OF 30MPH+ POSSIBLE AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE INTO THE 30S ACROSS THE BOARD.

IN THE 30S AND 40S WITH LIGHTER EAST WINDS. CLOUDS INCREASE ACROSS
MANISTEE NATIONAL FOREST INTO THE I-75 CORRIDOR LATER IN THE DAY.
RHS WILL REMAIN ABOVE THRESHOLD AGAIN, BUT WILL LIKELY DIP BELOW 35%
ACROSS MANISTEE NATIONAL FOREST DUE TO DOWNSLOPING EASTERLY WINDS.
HIGHS IN THE 30S AND 40S ONCE AGAIN.
