Gaylord, Mich. – A slow-moving weather system drifting across the Great Lakes will keep northern Michigan locked in a cool, unsettled pattern through the end of the week. Scattered rain showers and breezy conditions are expected to continue before gradual clearing arrives by Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, isolated showers early today will grow more widespread by late afternoon and evening as colder air aloft moves over the region. Temperatures will remain stuck in the upper 40s to mid-50s, with overnight lows dipping into the 30s. The heaviest showers are likely across the Tip of the Mitt and eastern Upper Peninsula, where winds off Lake Michigan and Lake Huron enhance rainfall.
Thursday will stay breezy with continued scattered rain, followed by lingering showers into Friday morning. By late Friday, drier air should begin to push in from the west, setting up a brighter and milder start to the weekend.
Motorists along U.S. 131 and M-32 should watch for slick stretches and occasional low visibility in heavier bursts of rain. Outdoor plans late week may need quick adjustments before conditions improve Saturday afternoon.
