Fire danger remains high in northern Michigan today and we’re expecting to see sun and low humidity throughout the day.

Several fires burned over the weekend, including two large fires east of Roscommon, in Ogemaw County. Officials with the U.S. Forest Service say those fires are contained, but together they’ve burned 400 acres.

A barn was lost in another, smaller fire in the Manistee Forest.

Fire danger is expected to remain for Tuesday. Forecasts from the National Weather Service predict more humidity, but with variable winds and thunderstorms, which could bring lightening strikes.
