Cool temperatures tonight; Seasonable Highs Thursday; Chance of showers Friday

High temperatures today reached only the upper 60s for most of Northeast Michigan. Locations in Iosco and Ogemaw counties managed to get up to the lower 70s. A cold front moved through yesterday, and shifted the wind direction now coming from the northwest, bringing cooler temperatures to our area.

High pressure centered over Iowa is bringing fair weather to most of Michigan. Typically, areas east of high pressure get cooler temperatures due to winds out of the northwest. High pressure will move east of our area tomorrow, and winds will become light. The lack of a cool breeze will help temperatures get close to normal tomorrow afternoon.
