Michigan – Michigan residents, particularly those in the Great Lakes region, should prepare for a rainy Veterans Day, with gusty winds adding to the blustery forecast. The National Weather Service forecasts scattered morning showers on Monday, accompanied by gusts up to 30-40 mph. Those commuting or engaging in Veterans Day events are urged to plan accordingly, as heavy rain may reduce visibility and make roads slick across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, the rain will briefly taper off midday before returning in the evening as another weather front approaches. This system will bring sustained winds and more rain, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions through the evening hours. Temperatures will reach a high near 61°F on Monday, with showers expected to persist into Monday night as temperatures dip to 49°F.

Tuesday promises clear skies with highs around 50°F, offering a break from the wet conditions. Wednesday continues the trend, with mostly sunny skies and a high of 52°F, perfect for outdoor activities as temperatures stabilize.

By Friday, Michigan will see partly cloudy skies with highs near 50°F, closing out the week on a dry note.
