Gaylord, Mich. – Warm afternoons and cool, clear nights continue across northern Michigan, but drivers should prepare for morning fog along I-75. Low visibility may cause slower commutes Tuesday morning, even as sunshine takes over by mid-morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, Tuesday will bring highs near 81 degrees with light east winds. Conditions remain calm, but nighttime lows dip into the 50s, adding to fog development on rural roads and low-lying areas.
Communities across Otsego County, including Vanderbilt and Boyne Falls, will see quiet skies through midweek. Sunny weather dominates Tuesday and Wednesday, making for ideal outdoor activities and road work conditions, though early commuters should allow extra travel time. MDOT advises caution on I-75 during morning fog periods when visibility can quickly drop.
The stretch of late-summer warmth provides a last taste of summer before temperatures trend downward. Residents should keep sunglasses handy for afternoon drives and plan for cooler evenings by keeping jackets nearby. Homeowners can also take advantage of the dry spell to finish yardwork before a wetter pattern returns by Sunday.
The region stays mostly clear through Friday with highs in the 70s, before rain chances increase by late weekend.
Warnings remain low, but drivers should remain alert for fog Tuesday morning and again later this week in valleys and near lakes.
