Gaylord, Michigan – Northern Michigan is in for a cool and soggy stretch as scattered showers continue today before widespread rain returns Sunday and Monday, paired with a noticeable drop in temperatures. Highs will only reach the upper 50s and low 60s for much of the region, with overnight lows tumbling into the 40s—marking one of the first fall-like patterns of the season.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, today’s scattered storms and showers will begin to fade by late afternoon, offering a brief break before a broader rain system arrives Sunday morning. Widespread showers will linger into Monday, driven by a strong push of cooler air out of Canada.
Brisk conditions will settle across key areas like Petoskey, Alpena, and Traverse City, with Monday’s high barely touching 60°F and lows dropping into the low to mid-40s by night. Gusty winds and overcast skies will keep the chill in place through early Tuesday, though drier skies are expected to return by midweek.
Residents are advised to keep rain gear handy, avoid waterlogged roads, and prep for cooler evenings. More rain chances are possible midweek as lake-effect activity ramps up.
