The combination of drying fuels, low relative humidity values, and
gusty winds will result in elevated fire danger conditions across
northern lower Michigan today. East winds between 5-10 mph will
gust to 15-20 mph at times through this afternoon. Relative
humidity values between 20-30 percent are expected across parts of
interior northern Michigan with the potential for localized
minimum relative humidity readings in the teens. These conditions
support the quick start and spread of wildfires, so be sure to
take the proper precautions to prevent fires from starting.
