Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
June 4, 2026 - 1:46am
Expires:
June 4, 2026 - 3:00pm
Description:
The combination of drying fuels, very low relative humidity
values, and increasing southwest winds, will result in elevated
fire danger conditions across northern lower Michigan today.
Southwest winds will gust to 15 to 25 mph this afternoon and
evening, highest west of I-75. Relative humidity values will drop
to 20 to 30 percent in much of northern Michigan, with the lowest
values east of I-75. These conditions support the quick start and
spread of wildfires, so be sure to take the proper precautions to
prevent fires from starting.
Humidity values are expected to be higher on Friday.
