Elevated Fire Danger Today and Thursday

Forecast

Elevated fire danger will continue today and Thursday due to very little recent rainfall, occasionally breezy winds, and low relative humidity. Winds will be on the light side today, but southwest breezes will increase on Thursday. 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/.

Our weather remains quiet through Thursday, with warming temperatures, especially in northern lower Michigan. Elevated fire danger will continue into Thursday. However, somewhat more humid air finally invades northern Michigan to end the week. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will result, from Thursday night into Saturday.
