Special Weather Statement issued May 8 at 3:00AM EDT by NWS Gaylord MI

Effective: Fri May 8, 2026, 3:00 AM
Expires: Fri May 8, 2026, 8:00 PM

A combination of drying surface conditions, very low afternoon relative humidity values, and at times gusty west to southwest winds will result in elevated fire danger conditions across northern lower Michigan today. Sustained winds of 10 to 15 mph with occasional gusts of 20 to 30 mph will be seen over northern Michigan late this morning through this afternoon. Minimum relative humidity values of 20 to 30 percent are expected over northern lower Michigan. These conditions could lead to rapid spread of fires. Check burning restrictions and fire danger before burning. For more information on burning restrictions for Michigan, see www.dnr.state.mi.us//.

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.
