If you thought it was hot on Thursday, Friday says “hold my water bottle”
High temperatures today reached 89 degrees in Alpena, middle 80s elsewhere. Winds out of the south about 15 mph helped bring the elevated heat and humidity.
Scattered thunderstorms moved through areas of Alpena, Montmorency and Presque Isle counties this afternoon provided by an incoming warm front and also aided by high moisture content in the air. The heat and humidity will climb further tomorrow, then the sultry air mass will exit over the weekend. A few showers are possible on Saturday as a cooler air mass moves into Michigan.
Temperatures overnight will remain warm with lows near 70 degrees and a low chance of showers. High temperatures will reach the lower 90s tomorrow afternoon with very high humidity levels.
Daily high temperatures will cool down over the weekend. Highs will reach the middle 80s on Saturday, then upper 70s on Sunday. The cooler air will remain in our area early next week with highs in the middle to upper 70s on Monday and Tuesday.
Friday’s high temperature will get near the record — the forecast is 92 degrees, the record is 93 degrees which was set July 19, 1991. High temperatures will reach the middle 80s on Saturday with a chance of scattered showers. Completely dry and cooler air is expected on Sunday with high temperatures near 78 degrees.
