...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR
PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN...

Strengthening southeast winds and dry conditions will lead to near

with frequent gusts up to 25 to 30 mph will be seen over much of
northern MI Monday afternoon. Minimum relative humidity values of
25 to 35 percent are expected over interior locations of northeast

burning restrictions and fire danger before burning.
