Special Weather Statement issued February 13 at 9:28PM EST by NWS Gaylord MI

Effective: Sat February 14, 2026, 2:28 AM
Expires: Sat February 14, 2026, 12:00 PM

Areas of freezing fog have developed across portions of northern Michigan this evening, and is expected to continue developing through the night into Saturday morning. In prone areas, the freezing fog may be locally dense, leading to reductions in visibility. In addition to reductions in visibility, temperatures falling below freezing tonight may lead to the development of slick spots on area roadways following snowmelt from today's warmer temperatures... especially on prone surfaces such as bridges and overpasses. Be cognizant of weather conditions if traveling tonight into tomorrow morning. Use low-beam headlights if you encounter dense fog, and slow down if slippery / icy road surfaces materialize.

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.
