Weekend Outlook

Elevated fire danger is in place again Saturday with easterly winds picking up around 5-15mph and another dry afternoon on tap. Prevent wildfires by being careful with any outdoor activities involving fire/sparks. For the latest open burning information, please visit: www.dnr.state.mi.us/burnpermits/.

Beautiful weather expected this weekend, though a bit chilly near Lake Huron with easterly winds on Saturday, where a moderate swim risk is expected for areas south of Alpena. Be aware that water temperatures are still very cold, and hypothermia could set in quickly, making the water dangerous regardless of swim risk.

It will be clear and dry through the weekend as high pressure hangs out in the region. A little cooler Saturday, especially east of I-75, with potential for some localized frost Saturday night, especially in the typical cold spots (AuSable River valley, Pellston, etc)...but we warm back up on Sunday. Elevated fire danger is expected Saturday with slightly breezier east winds; winds should be lighter Sunday but dry conditions will remain. Please be careful with any fire-inducing outdoor activities this weekend.
