Gaylord, Michigan – Cool mornings and sun-soaked afternoons will define northern Michigan’s weather through the weekend, with only a slight chance for scattered rain by Sunday. Drivers across the region may encounter patchy fog overnight into Thursday, especially in rural valleys and low-lying roads.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, high pressure remains in control through Saturday, keeping conditions dry and seasonable. Daytime highs will range from the upper 60s to mid-70s, with slightly cooler readings near the lakeshores. A few weak disturbances could trigger isolated showers, but most areas will stay dry.
Residents in cities like Traverse City, Petoskey, and Alpena can expect partly sunny skies through Saturday, with ideal weather for outdoor events. Patchy morning fog may limit visibility briefly, so early commuters should allow extra time.
The next organized chance for rain arrives late Sunday into Monday, potentially impacting travel and outdoor plans. No severe weather is expected at this time.
