Wet overnight to early Tuesday, drying out in the afternoon
A low pressure system over southern Wisconsin is bringing showers to our area. More showers will move in overnight and last until early Tuesday. A stationary boundary parked across Mid-Michigan divides much warmer temperatures south of it compared to the cool temperatures over Northeast Michigan. This boundary also acts as a guide for where showers will end up, mainly along it and just north.
The long-range temperature outlook shows the likelihood of values above or below normal from the weekend to the middle of next week. At this point, the Climate Prediction Center is forecasting a chance of below-normal temperatures throughout this period. Cool temperatures will last all of this week and possibly into part of next week.
Tuesday: Chance of showers early, then mainly cloudy. Early-morning lows will head down to about 44 degrees. Afternoon highs will reach close to 55 degrees. Evening temperatures will go from the lower 50s to the upper 40s.
Wednesday: Much brighter, a breeze out of the northwest. Predawn lows will cool to around 37 degrees. Afternoon highs will be near 54 degrees. Evening temperatures will head into the 40s.
Thursday: An isolated shower possible in the afternoon. Early-morning temperatures will begin near 32 degrees. Afternoon highs will get up to about 52 degrees. Evening temperatures will be mainly in the 40s.
