Michigan’s weekend weather is really looking quite nice, finally

It’s going to be a weekend without a major storm system roaring through Michigan. This means we will have some sun, fairly light winds and warmer temperatures. It won’t be entirely dry however.

Our next storm system will bring Michigan off-and-on precipitation Sunday night and Monday. Prior to the main part of this next storm system we will have just a few quick passing showers Sunday.

I’d call it a mostly dry Sunday to entirely dry at many spots. If you get any rain Sunday it will only be for an hour or so.

Here’s the radar forecast from Friday evening to Sunday evening.

You see the sparse and light rain showers Sunday afternoon and evening. Otherwise it’s a dry Friday and Saturday.

The Rain total forecast gives you the idea the amounts Sunday afternoon will be light with less than one-tenth of an inch over Lower Michigan and many areas staying dry. The Upper Peninsula will have up to one-quarter of an inch of rain.

Morning temperatures will still be chilly, especially Saturday morning. Afternoon temperatures will be near normal Saturday and just a touch warmer than normal Sunday. The afternoons will be much warmer than the past several days.

Saturday starts with a thick frost at sunrise.

By afternoon we may be able to go down to a light spring jacket.

Sunday morning will still be cold at sunrise, but not as cold as Saturday.

Sunday afternoon will be very pleasant all across Michigan. The Upper Peninsula will still be a bit cool in the 50s. Otherwise the rest of us can expect 60 degrees or a little warmer.

Another nice feature of our weekend weather will be light winds Saturday.

Sunday turns a touch breezy as we head into the afternoon. I wouldn’t call it windy however, with 10 mph to 15 mph winds.

Enjoy your “right about normal” weekend of weather here in Michigan. I’m going to grab the rake and pick up the twigs from all the recent wind. Prepare for gardening too.
