Memorial Day, May 25, will be the warmest day this weekend across Michigan, with cities near the Ohio border topping 80 degrees.
Early morning frost is possible this holiday weekend to the north, as overnight temperatures are forecast to dip as low as 44 degrees in the U.P. and northern Lower Peninsula. A freeze warning or frost advisory may be issued on Friday, May 22, according to the Marquette National Weather Service.
“Rain-free weather will continue through the remainder of the week with the potential for patchy frost across parts of northern Michigan again tonight (May 21). Rain chances look move back in Saturday morning and end Saturday evening (May 23),” the Gaylord NWS said on social media on May 21.
Rain and thunderstorms are possible throughout the weekend across the Lower Peninsula.
“Dry and cool through Friday (May 22),” the Detroit NWS said on social media on May 21. “Good soaking rain Friday night into Saturday morning (May 23). A little milder this weekend, with a chance of thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and Sunday (May 24).”
