Gaylord, MI – Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to persist across northern Michigan this evening and into the night, bringing the potential for lightning, small hail, gusty winds, and brief heavy downpours.
According to the US National Weather Service in Gaylord, stronger storms could produce more intense bursts of wind and rain. The unsettled weather pattern is forecast to continue through Tuesday, with conditions remaining partly cloudy between storm activity.
Forecasters warn that localized impacts, such as reduced visibility during heavy downpours and slippery road conditions, are possible. Overnight low temperatures are expected to remain between 69 and 72 degrees, which could make for a humid and unstable atmosphere heading into Monday.
Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts for any updates and be prepared to take shelter during periods of lightning or hail. Outdoor plans tonight may be interrupted by the scattered storms, which could develop quickly.
The National Weather Service also notes that the current pattern is conducive to sporadic thunderstorm development over the next two days, especially during the late afternoon and evening hours. Travelers and boaters across inland lakes and the Great Lakes shoreline should use caution.
This active weather comes as part of a broader unsettled stretch affecting much of the Midwest, with fluctuating temperatures and shifting wind patterns keeping storm chances elevated into midweek.
