FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
551 AM EDT SUN JUL 26 2026
..MAINLY RAIN-FREE TODAY, POSSIBLE STORMS THIS EVENING
DISCUSSION
ASIDE FROM A FEW STRAY SHOWERS POSSIBLE THIS MORNING, MAINLY RAIN-
FREE WEATHER IS EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN TODAY. CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND STORMS RETURN LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT; HOWEVER,
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT STORMS THAT DEVELOP LATER TODAY MISS MUCH OF
NORTHERN MICHIGAN AND TRACK TO OUR WEST. OTHERWISE, LIGHT WINDS LOOK
TO INCREASE TO 5-10 MPH OUT OF THE WEST-SOUTHWEST FOR MOST AREAS
INTO THIS AFTERNOON. LAKE BREEZE FORMATION WILL LIKELY PUSH INLAND
FROM LAKE HURON LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE A FEW LOCALIZED AREAS
COULD SEE RHS IN THE 30-40 PERCENT RANGE THIS AFTERNOON, RH CONCERNS
ARE NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY.
