Charlevoix County provides weather information resources for public reference. The only government agency authorized to issue Watches and Warnings is the National Weather Service. Know the difference between a Watch and a Warning - this is knowledge that saves lives (click the graphic on the left to understand the difference)!

Private local weather instrument stations within Charlevoix County are maintained by County residents. However, the only official information the County recognizes originates from the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Gaylord, Michigan. This is very important as insurance agencies, lawyers, and other professionals often inquire about conditions for evidentiary purposes.
