KEY MESSAGES

- Remarkably quiet weather for the next several days, along with temperatures that will fall well within the range of normal for this time of year.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 137 PM EDT Wed May 27 2026

Pattern Synopsis/Trends:

Much heralded transition to a very amplified central NOAM upper level flow configuration continues unabated...with northern Plains/southern Canada expanding ridge sandwiched between deepening northeast NOAM and west coast centered trough axes. Shortwave trough within that much broader northeast troughing currently racing southeast across the northern Great Lakes...dragging a weak and moisture starved cold front south across lower Michigan. Expansive area of Canada originated high pressure dropping steadily south behind this front within deep layer subsidence regime. Despite post- frontal northerly flow developing across our area, temperatures are still quite warm...with current readings mostly in the 70s.

Northern Michigan looks to remain centered squarely under ridge/trough interface for the foreseeable future. This continues to favor overhead deep layer subsidence and reinforcing bouts of Canada originated high pressure dropping south across the region right into the start of next week.

Primary Forecast Concerns:

Almost sole focus on temperature trends through the period.

Details:

Honestly not a whole lot to talk about tonight through the remainder of this forecast. That deep layer subsidence and reinforcing bouts of high pressure looks to keep the weather largely dry the remainder of this week....although suppose a shower or two is possible Friday with a cold frontal passage. Temperatures will vary some daily as shots of somewhat cooler air drop out of Canada at times. Still, readings will largely remain within a few degrees of what is considered normal as we head through the end of May into the start of June...with highs mostly in the 70s (some lower 80s Friday and 60s Saturday near Lake Huron) and lows in the 40s to lower 50s.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/

Issued at 115 PM EDT Wed May 27 2026

VFR conditions expected through the period with FEW-SCT150-250 largely. Non-zero chance for a -SHRA, but not a huge concern with most if not all of the area and terminals remaining dry. Winds north to northwest through the day today, gusts to 15 to 20 KTs at times, decreasing overnight and becoming more northeast.
