Gaylord, Mich. – Clouds will thin out across northern Michigan today, giving way to mostly sunny skies and comfortable afternoon highs in the upper 70s. Dry conditions will dominate through the end of the workweek before a shift to wetter, cooler weather arrives this weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, Thursday and Friday will stay mostly sunny, with highs climbing into the lower 80s across many inland areas, including Traverse City, Cadillac, and Alpena. Overnight lows will dip into the 50s, keeping mornings crisp.
Rain chances increase Saturday, with scattered showers possible across the northern Lower Peninsula, especially near Gaylord and Petoskey. By Sunday, cooler air pushes in behind the front, dropping daytime highs into the mid-60s to low 70s. Scattered showers could make outdoor plans tricky across the Straits area and along U.S. 131.
Travelers are urged to plan ahead for changing conditions, as wet roads may slow traffic late in the weekend. Residents should also prepare for a noticeable cool-down as next week begins.
