The current high-pressure system over the area will maintain control, resulting in mild mornings and comfortable afternoons. Highs are expected to reach the upper 60s today, with overnight lows dropping into the mid to upper 40s, slightly warmer than the previous few nights. The warm, dry trend will continue through the week, with highs climbing into the 70s and even approaching 80 degrees in some spots by Thursday.
Limited Rain Chances in the East as Low-Pressure System Passes South
A low-pressure system moving through Lower Michigan and Lake Huron may bring a few light showers to eastern Upper Michigan, especially near Munising and Fairport tonight. However, the best dynamics for rain will stay to the south, and any precipitation is expected to be light and isolated. Most of the region will remain dry, with partly cloudy skies and a chance of patchy fog in the early morning hours.
Sunny and Warm Conditions to Continue Into the Weekend
The extended forecast shows a continuation of warm and dry weather as a mid-level ridge builds over the Great Lakes. Highs are expected to reach the mid-70s, with some locations potentially seeing temperatures close to 80 degrees from Thursday through Saturday. This unseasonably warm weather will persist into the weekend, making it a perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities across the U.P.
Next Chance of Rain Possible Early Next Week
Although this week will be mostly dry, a low-pressure system moving into the region from the Rockies could bring the next significant chance of rain early next week. Current models suggest that this system could impact the Upper Peninsula by Monday or Tuesday, but details remain uncertain at this time.
