Gaylord, MI – Northern Michigan starts Thursday under dreary, fall-like conditions that will hang on through the morning. However, as the day progresses, improvements are expected as high pressure slowly moves into the area from the north. These changes will be felt earliest in the Eastern Upper Peninsula (EUP).
By afternoon, clouds will decrease from north to south, bringing clearer skies and warmer temperatures across the region. Highs are forecasted to reach the lower to mid-70s, offering a pleasant respite after the morning’s cooler start. Breezy conditions will persist, but the afternoon should feel much more like late summer.
Despite the improving weather, moderate swim risks are expected at some beaches along Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Visitors and residents should exercise caution if heading to the water, especially as they plan for the upcoming Labor Day weekend.
As high pressure continues to settle in, Northern Michigan can expect more favorable conditions through the weekend, setting the stage for a warm and enjoyable Labor Day holiday. Keep an eye on local forecasts for updates and any potential weather advisories.
