Overnight lows will be in the upper 40s or close to 50 degrees. Morning temperatures will be in the upper 50s with mostly sunny skies early. A few more clouds will bubble up midday. Highs will be near 74 degrees in Alpena with a mix of sun and clouds in the afternoon.

Humidity levels will be comfortable Saturday. Dew points give a good indication of how muggy it’s going to feel. Dew points will be slightly higher on Sunday. Once dew points climb above 60, that’s when it will feel much muggier – that’s expected to happen Monday. It now looks like higher humidity will last into Tuesday.
