...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED SATURDAY, MAY 16TH...

.Warm, dry, and breezy weather on Saturday will lead to critical
fire weather conditions across western and central Upper
Michigan. While highs are only expected to get into the 70s to
lower 80s, west to eventually northwest winds of 15 to 20 mph
with gusts to 30 mph and RHs falling into the 18-25% range will
allow for rapid fire growth and spread during the late morning to
afternoon hours on today. Follow all burn bans in place as weather
conditions are ideal for rapid fire spread!

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures and
exceptionally dry fuels will create dangerous wildland fire
conditions. Campfires, outdoor grills, smoking materials,
fireworks, chain saws, and all-terrain vehicles all have the
potential to throw a spark and ignite a dangerous and destructive
fire.

Please advise the appropriate officials or fire crews in the
field of this Red Flag Warning.
