This Evening: Not much changes with only some high thin cirrus clouds drifting through. Temps are about perfect with readings in the 50’s and 60’s dropping back down into the 40’s and 50’s. Winds are not an issue at less than 8 mph.
Tonight: Clouds build into the U.P. with the chance of a shower for our Eastern Counties towards morning. Our Northern Lower counties are dry with some extra clouds after 3 a.m. while the Central Lower remain clear. Lows range from 37 to 45 degrees with SE/S winds at 2-8 for the L.P. but 5-15 in the U.P.
Tomorrow: A weak cold front slides through with a line of clouds and some showers. Right now, scattered showers are forecast in the U.P. while isolated showers are possible in the Northern Lower. The Central Lower looks dry with more sun and clouds than anything else. Highs range from 58 to 68 degrees with SW/W winds at 5-15 mph.
Friday: The end of the work week starts off with the chance of rain showers but skies turn partly sunny in the afternoon. Temps are cooler with readings in the upper 40s to upper 50s.
This Weekend: There is a system moving through the Great Lakes which could create issues. Saturday morning will be dry but expect rain or snow for the Lower Peninsula starting late Saturday afternoon and evening. Any rain turns to snow overnight with accumulations expected. Sunday starts with snow but the system moves out fast so some afternoon sun is forecast. Highs will be in the 40s. The ground is warm and the suns rays are strong, so any snow will not hang around long!
Next Week: Monday has a mix of sun and clouds with the chance of rain showers. Highs range from 48 to 55 degrees. Clouds thicken with afternoon showers returning Tuesday and they will last into Wednesday. Highs will generally be in the 50s.
