Elevated Fire Danger through Thursday

Outlook thru End of Week

Elevated fire danger will continue through Thursday due to very little recent rainfall, increasing southwest winds, and low relative humidity. 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/.

High pressure will slowly begin to slip away from the area Thursday, allowing our first shot at rain in several days by late Thursday night into Friday. Shower and storm chances will continue into at least part of the weekend. Highs will get a little toasty Thursday before dropping back a bit to end the week…though warm weather looks to return next week. =
