FNUS53 KAPX 091915 FWFAPX Fire Weather Planning Forecast for northern Lower Michigan National Weather Service Gaylord MI 315 PM EDT Thu Jul 9 2026 ...Trending Drier... .DISCUSSION... Showers and storms over the region clear by this evening, commencing a dry stretch all the way into next week. Temperatures will be seasonably warm through Sunday, eventually warming into the mid-upper 80s in places. RHs will be on a downward trend through the weekend as well, dipping into the 30s, perhaps even 20s. Despite the warmth and low moisture, fire concerns will largely be minimized by a lack of wind along with the moisture from recent rainfall. As such, fire growth potential will be lacking this upcoming weekend, despite the warmth and low RHs.
