The forecast remains dry through midweek with high pressure dominating the weather. Warm and dry air will bring an increased fire danger, especially during the afternoon hours. Expect cooler afternoon temperatures by the shorelines of the Great Lakes. Gulf moisture will push into the area on Thursday along with the chance for showers and thunderstorms.
Gusty easterly winds as high as 20 mph combined with dry and warm conditions and a lack of recent rainfall will lead to elevated wildfire potential this afternoon across western and north-central Upper Michigan. Avoid outdoor burning today. Immediately report any wildfires to local emergency services by calling 911. Burn restrictions remain in effect.
