Gaylord, Mich. – Clear skies and light winds will allow temperatures to dip into the 30s across parts of northern Michigan tonight, raising the risk of patchy frost in colder interior spots such as Atlanta, Mio, Grayling, and Houghton Lake. Drivers and growers alike may want to take precautions as conditions turn chilly.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, isolated thunderstorms are possible late Wednesday into early Thursday, with the highest chances for rain coming Wednesday night. A few of these storms may produce brief heavy downpours, especially across northern Lower Michigan counties including Otsego, Antrim, and Cheboygan.
Daytime highs will warm into the low to mid-70s Wednesday before falling again behind the rain system on Thursday. Travelers should be prepared for wet roads along I-75 and U.S. 131 Wednesday night, with cooler, breezy conditions settling in by Thursday morning.
Additional patchy frost is possible again Thursday night and Friday night in northern interior valleys, which could affect late-summer gardens. Residents are advised to cover sensitive plants and limit overnight outdoor exposure.
