Gaylord, Mich. – Northern Michigan is closing out the holiday weekend under sunny skies and comfortable daytime temperatures, but chilly nights will keep many residents reaching for jackets. Highs across the region are expected in the mid to upper 70s today and Labor Day, bringing ideal conditions for outdoor events and lake activities.
According to the National Weather Service office in Gaylord, clear skies overnight will allow temperatures to dip sharply, with lows ranging from the upper 30s inland to the lower 50s along the lakeshores. Patchy fog is also likely late tonight into early Monday morning, especially in interior valleys and low-lying areas.
Travelers on U.S. 131, I-75, and other rural routes should prepare for reduced visibility during the early morning hours. Residents are advised to slow down in fog and allow extra time for travel.
The weather pattern stays steady into the start of the week with more sun expected Tuesday, before cooler air edges in by midweek.
