After a foggy start in parts of the Upper Peninsula today, Michigan as a whole will keep on its upward ride of summer-like temperatures.
Late Friday into early Saturday is our earliest chance for rain in some parts of the state. But most of us will see this dry, summer-like weather continue right into next week.
Here are the forecast highlights from the National Weather Service offices across Michigan:
Patchy dense fog will create morning visibility challenges across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on Thursday, with otherwise pleasant early fall conditions expected statewide.
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for parts of Lake Superior through early Thursday afternoon, with visibility potentially dropping below one mile in some areas. Morning temperatures will start in the mid-50s, quickly warming to the 60s and low 70s during the day. Winds will remain light, and sunshine is expected to break through the fog by afternoon.
A weak weather system will bring light rain chances to Michigan on Friday night into early Saturday morning. The Marquette and Gaylord forecast offices predict scattered showers with a slight possibility of thunderstorms, though significant precipitation is not expected. Most areas will see rainfall totals under a quarter-inch, with slightly higher amounts possible near the Wisconsin border in the western Upper Peninsula.
The weekend and early next week will feature consistently warm temperatures, with highs reaching the 70s and potentially low 80s across Michigan. The weather pattern suggests a ridge of high pressure will maintain dry, sunny conditions through midweek. Overnight temperatures will cool to the upper 40s and low 50s, creating ideal early fall weather conditions.
