Gaylord, MI – Northern Michigan residents should prepare for a soggy stretch this week as rain returns tonight and continues through Thursday, according to the US National Weather Service Gaylord. After a partly sunny Monday with highs in the 50s and low 60s, conditions are expected to shift overnight with rain spreading from west to east.
According to the forecast, Tuesday through Thursday will feature scattered showers, cool breezes, and highs mostly in the upper 40s to low 50s. Overnight lows could dip into the low 30s by midweek, bringing a chilly autumn feel across the region.
By Friday, forecasters expect isolated showers to linger, with slightly milder temperatures returning as highs reach the low 50s once again.
The weather service notes that while no major storms are expected, occasional unsettled and breezy conditions could make travel damp and uncomfortable at times. Motorists are advised to allow extra time for commutes and watch for slick, leaf-covered roads.
Residents across Gaylord, Petoskey, and Traverse City should keep umbrellas handy as fall’s cooler, wetter pattern settles in for the week.
