FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
520 AM EDT FRI JUN 26 2026
...DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND; HEAT, HUMIDITY, AND STORMS
NEXT WEEK...
DISCUSSION
MORNING FOG AND MIST WILL CARRY INTO THE MORNING
BUT WILL GENERALLY TRANSITION TO A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. LIGHT NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS TO PREVAIL THROUGH
THE DAY, PERHAPS GUSTING TO 20MPH AT 20FT. LAKE BREEZE PROCESSES
WILL LEAD TO AFTERNOON WIND SHIFTS, MORE WESTERLY CLOSER TO LAKE
MICHIGAN, EASTERLY CLOSER TO LAKE HURON. RHS MAY DIP TO NEAR 40
BY THE AFTERNOON ACROSS INTERIOR NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN, RISING
SOME IN THE WAKE OF LAKE BREEZE PASSAGES. HIGHS TOP OUT IN THE
UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 ALONG THE COASTS, MID- TO- UPPER 70S INLAND.
VENTILATION WILL BE FAIR FOR THE MOST PART, WITH MIXING HEIGHTS
RISING AS HIGH AS 4KFT IN THE AFTERNOON. USUAL REDUCTIONS IN
VENTILATION AND MIXING HEIGHTS TONIGHT.
DRY WEATHER AND WARMING TEMPERATURES CARRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND,
WITH HIGHS EVENTUALLY PEAKING IN THE 80S BY SUNDAY. CONSIDERING
RECENT RAINFALL, FIRE RISK WILL LIKELY BE LOCALIZED TO AREAS THAT
DIDN'T RECEIVE MUCH RAIN THE LAST FEW DAYS... OTHERWISE, AMPLE
RECENT RAINFALL AND FULL VEGETATION GREENUP WILL RESULT IN LOW
FIRE GROWTH POTENTIAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT
WEEK, HEAT AND HUMIDITY, PERHAPS DANGEROUS AT TIMES, BUILDS INTO
NEXT WEEK. WITH IT WILL COME POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS... THOUGH NAILING DOWN EXACT TIMING AND LOCATION
YIELDS LOW CONFIDENCE AT THIS JUNCTURE. THAT BEING SAID, THIS
UPCOMING PATTERN IS CONDUCIVE FOR LARGER, WIND-DRIVE THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEXES TO PASS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. CERTAINLY MORE REFINED
DETAILS TO BE HAD WITH TIME.
