Summer taking a pass for a day; Warmer temperatures will return

Summer has decided to take a pass for today, high temperatures reached only the middle to upper 50s around the area. Rain combined with brisk winds out of the north have kept temperatures very cool. These temperatures would be nearly normal for a day in October — not June!

The last round of rain is sitting over our area and will begin to move our tonight. Dry weather over Wisconsin will progress east, and temporarily hover over Northeast Michigan tonight to tomorrow morning. A developing system over the Upper Plains will bring yet more rain beginning Friday afternoon.

Low temperatures tonight will drop to the middle 40s with partly cloudy skies. Some sunshine is likely in the early-morning hours, then getting replaced by cloud cover, and high temperatures will get close to 70 degrees. Periods of rain will begin late in the day and continue into Saturday.
