Special Weather Statement issued June 4 at 4:46AM EDT by NWS Gaylord MI

Effective: Thu June 4, 2026, 4:46 AM
Expires: Thu June 4, 2026, 6:00 PM

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.

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.
