Gaylord, Mich. – Partly to mostly cloudy skies across northern Michigan will give way to scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms tonight as a cold front slides through the region. Temperatures will remain seasonable, with highs today in the upper 70s to mid-80s before dipping into the low 60s overnight.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, increasing clouds tonight will signal the approach of showers, with some storms capable of producing brief downpours. The unsettled weather will continue into Saturday, with highs slightly cooler in the low 70s to around 80 and a continued risk for isolated thunderstorms.
Communities from Traverse City to Alpena and inland counties including Otsego and Roscommon should prepare for wet roads and reduced visibility during heavier showers.
