FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
302 AM EDT WED MAY 7 2025
...EXTENDED STRETCH OF RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS AND LOW LEVEL DRYING
BEGINS TODAY...
DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING RAIN-FREE AND
INCREASINGLY DRY LOW LEVEL CONDITIONS AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THIS WORK WEEK. RELATIVE HUMIDITY LOOKS TO STILL REMAIN
A BIT ELEVATED TODAY, WITH VALUES TANKING TO NEAR OR BELOW CRITICAL
LEVELS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AFTERNOON AWAY FROM THE GREAT LAKES.
CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE TO SUPPORT WINDS LIKELY STAYING BELOW
CRITICAL LEVELS...HOPEFULLY NEGATING A MORE HIGH-END FIRE WEATHER
RISK.
