...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED FRIDAY... .Warm, dry, and breezy weather on Friday will lead to critical fire weather conditions over western Upper Michigan. Southwest winds between 10 to 20 mph will gust up to 30 to 35 mph. Meanwhile, temperatures climb into the low 80s with minimum relative humidities near 20 percent. This environment is favorable for rapid fire growth and spread. The National Weather Service in Marquette has issued a Red Flag Warning for wind and low relative humidity, which is in effect from 1 PM EDT /noon CDT/ to 9 PM EDT /8 PM CDT/ Friday. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 002 Ontonagon, Fire Weather Zone 004 Baraga, Fire Weather Zone 009 Gogebic, Fire Weather Zone 010 Iron and Fire Weather Zone 084 Southern Houghton. * TIMING...From 1 PM EDT /noon CDT/ to 9 PM EDT /8 PM CDT/ Friday. * WINDS...Southwest 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 19 percent. * IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will catch and spread quickly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures and exceptionally dry fuels will create dangerous wildland fire conditions. Campfires, outdoor grills, smoking materials, fireworks, chain saws, and all-terrain vehicles all have the potential to throw a spark and ignite a dangerous and destructive fire. Please advise the appropriate officials or fire crews in the field of this Red Flag Warning.

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.
