KEY MESSAGES

- Extended period of dry weather with more seasonable temperatures.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 213 AM EDT Fri May 29 2026

Overall, still a fairly quiet stretch of weather expected across northern Michigan through the forecast period as recurring surface high pressure continues to build south into the Great Lakes. As a result, dry conditions look to continue to dominate the sensible weather. There still remains a low chance for a few spotty showers late today into tonight as a cold front slips south through the region, though moisture and forcing remain limited and many areas (if not all) will likely stay dry altogether.

Temperatures through the next several days generally remain near to slightly above normal seasonal averages. Today continues to look like the warmest day of the period, particularly across downsloping areas of northeast Lower where highs could push well into the 80s, especially closer to Saginaw Bay. Cooler air filters in behind the aformentioned front, making temperatures for Saturday cooler (highs ranging in the upper 60s to upper 70s). The coolest conditions are expected near the Lake Huron shoreline where persistent easterly flow should keep lakeshore areas in the low 60s. Temperatures then settle back to more normal readings for this time of year with widespread 70s expected before a gradual warming trend resumes by mid next week.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/

Issued at 614 AM EDT Fri May 29 2026

Any lingering FG/BR is expected to dissipate quickly over the next 1- 2 hours as diurnal mixing ensues. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected across northern Michigan through tonight. West-northwest winds become primarily northwest with time today, gusting to 20-25 kts at times into this evening. Winds then shift to east-northeast late this evening.
