DNR Daily Fire Danger Rating can be found HERE.

Rain chances dry out over the weekend with building high pressure, with cool but mostly sunny conditions to prevail in the U.P. through Sunday. Next week, it’s an overall warm airmass wrapping over Upper Michigan -- outside of rain chances Tuesday and Wednesday, expect re-elevated wildfire risks in the region. Towards Memorial Day Weekend, a strong Northern Plains system develops, capable of producing strong thunderstorms and heavy rain -- and with potential to impact the Western U.P. Stay tuned for updates as we monitor the track of this system in the coming days.
