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

The combination of drying fuels and very low relative humidity
values will result in elevated fire danger conditions across
northern lower Michigan today. Light west winds will only
occasionally gust to near 20 mph this afternoon. But relative
humidity values will drop to 15 to 25 percent in much of northern
Michigan. These conditions support the quick start and spread of
wildfires, so be sure to take the proper precautions to prevent
fires from starting.

Elevated fire danger is expected to return on Thursday.
