Gaylord, Mich. – Northern Michigan is set for a tranquil Memorial Day, with partly sunny skies, mild breezes, and temperatures climbing into the 60s and low 70s across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, high pressure will keep the Northwoods dry and comfortable Monday. Inland highs will range from 63°F to 71°F, while areas along Lake Michigan and Lake Huron can expect cooler conditions in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Cities like Traverse City, Petoskey, and Gaylord will enjoy light winds and ideal grilling weather through the afternoon. At the lakeshores—including Frankfort, Alpena, and Cheboygan—temperatures may feel noticeably cooler, especially with a breeze off the water.
For those camping or attending evening memorial events, temperatures tonight will dip into the upper 30s to upper 40s, with partly cloudy skies providing a slightly milder night than previous ones. Layering is recommended for anyone staying outdoors overnight.
While no weather advisories are in effect, residents should check local updates if traveling near the lakes, where breezier and cooler microclimates could develop. Another round of weather updates is expected early Tuesday with potential pattern changes midweek.
