Gaylord, Michigan – Gray skies linger above northern Michigan this morning, the kind that blur pine ridges and hang low over quiet lakes. The air is calm, damp, and cool — a prelude to a stretch of changing weather as the first week of November begins across the I-75 corridor and the tip of the mitt.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, conditions stay dry and partly sunny through Sunday afternoon before a developing system brings showers late Sunday night into Monday. Light rain may begin after 2 a.m., turning steadier through Monday morning, with gusts near 30 mph possible as southerly winds increase. While no severe weather is expected, drivers should watch for wet pavement and patchy fog around dawn, especially on rural routes near Otsego Lake and M-32.
Temperatures remain seasonable, with highs near 43°F today, climbing into the upper 40s on Sunday and near 50°F by Monday before cooling again midweek. Behind Monday’s rain, skies clear quickly, bringing a brief return of sunshine Tuesday before another round of light showers approaches late Tuesday night into Wednesday.
No early snow is expected this round, though forecasters note that colder air patterns remain nearby. Northern Michigan could see its first mix of rain and snow later in November if the trend continues. For now, residents can expect damp roads, cool mornings, and a steady march toward winter’s edge.
