False fall? It's going to be cool in Michigan this week

Scattered rain will fall in Michigan as a cold front pushes 80-degree weather out of the state, making it seem like early fall.

“Cool weather continues through the week with highs in the 60s/70s and lows in the 40s/50s. Isolated to scattered light showers are possible today (Aug. 25) and tomorrow (Aug. 26),” the National Weather Service in Detroit said on X.

In the Lower Peninsula, highs range in the upper 60s to mid-70s, with Detroit seeing the warmest temperatures — 75 degrees on Wednesday, Aug. 27. In the Upper Peninsula, highs will only reach the upper 60s to lower 70s.

On Tuesday, Aug. 26, rain is expected to develop in Lansing, Grand Rapids, southwest and northern Michigan. Rain is forecast on Aug. 27 in the UP.

Hazardous weather outlooks are in place for northern and southeast Michigan for potential thunderstorms. Waterspouts that formed over the Great Lakes over the weekend could continue through Tuesday.

“Waterspouts remain possible Tuesday (Aug. 26). Small Craft Advisory continues across portions of the Thumb shoreline Tuesday morning. Please see the latest marine forecasts for details,” the NWS said.

The National Weather Service 6-10 day forecast says Michigan should expect cooler-than-normal temperatures to stick around, possibly into Labor Day weekend.
