Weather Story

Warm Friday then Sharply Cooler

Flood Safety

A pleasant day is in store for northern Michigan on Friday with sunny skies and warm temperatures. Highs look to climb into the 60s and low 70s for most interior areas with cooler readings in the 50s and 60s along the Lake Huron shoreline. Shower and thunderstorm chances return Friday evening into Saturday, bringing additional rainfall to areas impacted by recent flooding. A few strong storms will be possible Friday evening. Looking further ahead, temperatures will turn sharply colder Saturday afternoon as a front moves through, dropping temperatures into the 20s and 30s for most areas Saturday night into Monday morning – with wind chills in the teens through the day on Sunday.

Widespread flooding impacts are occurring over northern MI and will likely linger into the weekend. Don’t underestimate the power of water. It only takes six inches of fast-moving water to knock over and carry away an adult, and twelve inches of rapidly-moving water to sweep away a small car.
