Special Weather Statement issued May 31 at 7:26AM EDT by NWS Gaylord MI

Effective: Sun May 31, 2026, 7:26 AM
Expires: Sun May 31, 2026, 8:00 PM

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

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
