Plain-English forecast narrative from the local NWS office. Issued by NWS APX.

329 FXUS63 KAPX 100642 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 242 AM EDT Mon Aug 10 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Sporadic shower/storm chances for a few days, highest Wednesday. - Somewhat cooler temps late this week and weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 242 AM EDT Mon Aug 10 2026 Low heights over the eastern Canada, and persistent ridging over the mountain west, will lead to wnw flow aloft into the Great Lakes thru the forecast. The most active areas of wx will tend to be to our north (showery under much colder temps aloft) and south (MCS action along a wavering frontal zone). Our wx remains comparatively quiet, but not absolutely so. Isolated convection is occurring early this morning, along a weak cold front making southward progress into the central lakes. MA few showers are moving east from the Cheboygan area, and there were a few showers earlier in ne WI. Guidance wants to bring a stray shower/storm into nw lower MI late overnight into early this morning. Away from this, lower clouds and fog are forming with light winds and a moist BL. A larger area of convection is moving into sw lower MI, and this may have some opportunity to grow upscale as it translates eastward. Models do allow the northern edge of this MCS to glance by Gladwin/Arenac Cos this morning. Otherwise, for the afternoon, the Lk Huron lake breeze pushing into a synoptic nw breeze may trigger a few showers/ storms in ne lower MI. Mainly quiet tonight, though patchy fog/stratus is again expected overnight. With very weak winds Tuesday, lake breezes are likely to spawn spotty convection, mainly in eastern upper and ne lower MI. Better chance for showers/perhaps t-storms arrives late Tue night into Wed, as weak low pressure and an associated shortwave cross lower MI. This gets replaced by a relatively strong/cool surface high pressure, building into northern Ontario and eventually northern Great Lakes late this week. Cooler temps but dry wx by Thu night-Fri. A more prominent shortwave and surface low looks likely to push into the southern lakes Sat-Sun, returning chances for rain. Max temps, after being near 80f today thru Wed, will lower into the 70s after that. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 1140 PM EDT Sun Aug 9 2026 Conditions will begin to decrease as we head further into tonight with chances for showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder possible at TVC and MBL, but would be spotty and not prevail. MVFR to IFR conditions expected to develop a little later tonight with low clouds and fog/mist building. Conditions are expected to improve through the morning returning to VFR by the afternoon. Winds turn northwest for Monday. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...None. MARINE...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...JZ AVIATION...NSC

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Treetops Sylvan Resort

Where does the snow data for Treetops Sylvan Resort come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Treetops Sylvan Resort?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Treetops Sylvan Resort?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
