Village of Clifford

PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF YOUR HEALTH AND STAY SAFE. I, personally, am wearing a cloth over my face to take dogs outside and it helps. Limit your time if you have to go out folks!

We have been filtering through tons of comments asking about weekend plans. Unfortunately, our breaks from the smoky air this weekend look brief. Our update on our air quality over the next 60 hours as of 10 am EDT 7/16/26.

Through the rest of the day, nearly the entire state will bask under an AQI of 300 or higher. This is unhealthy for all individuals. As we move into Friday, smoke still lingers in the area, but a wind shift has shown up on latest model runs. This will blow most smoke off to the east into Ontario, but air quality will still not be completely clear. Places in the Upper Peninsula on Friday evening will likely still be above 150 for an AQI. Then on Saturday, another front moves in, bringing winds back in from out of the northwest, and storm chances. Within any storms on Saturday, dirty rain may occur. The cold front will likely also spike our AQI back above 200 for many, into the very unhealthy range by Saturday night. While we don't have smoke data yet for Sunday, we presume a similar outlook to Saturday will be in store to end the weekend, as winds remain largely out of the northwest.

If you have prolonged outdoor activities this weekend, please be safe about your respiratory health.

Here is the latest update from the NWS which also includes an Air Quality Alert now for tomorrow, July 15:

The Heat Advisory has been extended through 8pm Wednesday for all of Southeast Michigan as highs again climb into the mid to upper 90s. Heat indices peak above 100 degrees.
Wildfire smoke overspreads the region as well with an Air Quality Alert for PM2.5 unhealthy for sensitive groups in effect Wednesday.
Chance for an isolated shower or storm Wednesday evening. Higher potential for showers and thunderstorms Friday and Saturday.

Please be safe off there and remember if you need to cool off: the council room is open for this reason. There is also a cold water fountain in the building that has a water bottle fill on it.

There is a small memorial in the village. Each Memorial day the North branch band comes and the American Legion lays a wreath. It is at 10 AM on Monday. If you would like to come you are more than welcome. It is located in downtown Clifford.
Today I planted the new planters from the DDA with fresh flowers. I think they are beautiful and want to thank the DDA again.
