Warm weather continues with occasional chances of showers and thunderstorms
High temperatures Tuesday warmed to 79 degrees in Alpena, 82 degrees in Saginaw, Michigan and 84 degrees in Traverse City, Michigan. Winds out of the south or southeast will maintain a flow of warm air traveling into Northeast Michigan. Although, when winds are more southeasterly, they will provide cooler temperatures at the shoreline.
A high pressure system over northwestern Pennsylvania brought clear skies to Northeast Michigan. Next, a warm front over northern Missouri and southern Illinois will move northward. Ahead of this warm front, spotty showers and thunderstorms will be possible Wednesday afternoon and evening. Increased cloud cover and a chance of showers will limit how warm temperatures become Wednesday. Looking ahead, temperatures will become warmer and humidity will increase heading into the end of the week.
Wednesday morning will have fair weather for any outdoor activities. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible in the afternoon and evening. The second half of Wednesday will not be entirely wet, but you’ll probably have to dodge a few showers. Thursday is looking mainly dry and will feel summer-like. Friday morning will likely start dry, so you should plan anything to do outdoors in the morning. Then scattered showers and thunderstorms will move in Friday afternoon and evening. Saturday will begin with a chance of showers, drying out late-day.
