...Elevated fire danger across northern lower Michigan today...

Combination of dry surface conditions, low afternoon relative
humidity values, and gusty west to northwest winds will result in
elevated fire danger conditions across northern lower Michigan today.
Sustained winds of 10 to 18 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 25 to 35 percent
are expected over much of northern lower Michigan. These
conditions could lead to rapid spread of fires. Check burning
restrictions and fire danger before burning.
