This weekend will not see the most pleasant of conditions. It's still technically summer for a couple more weeks, but this weekend will feel very autumn-like.
Saturday's highs will be in the 60s, at least a few degrees below average for most places. The seasonal high has now fallen to 69 as of Friday. There should be a few peeks of sunshine in the afternoon, but a light isolated shower is not out of the question. Anyone enjoying Beer Fest in Marquette should be okay, but I'd bring a sweater with those breezy winds right off the lake.
Saturday night will see greater chances for some light rain with a weak disturbance, especially west. Temperatures will again be cool with lows in the mid 40s to mid 50s.
Sunday's temps will be very similar to Saturday's. Highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s to around 50. Skies will be different though. As high pressure moves in, clouds will become more scarce throughout the day until nighttime where conditions will be mostly clear. There is a small chance for some more rain in the daytime.
On Monday, conditions start to warm up again toward seasonable highs as high pressure takes over the forecast. There should be plenty of sunshine and calmer winds. The warming trend continues through Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
By Wednesday we should see the next system roll through with some storms and bring temperatures back down again for the following weekend.
We had one report of a waterspout near Christmas over Lake Superior. A viewer sent us a couple pictures. I'll try and get around to posting them in the evening. Did you snap any pictures of your own? I'd love to see them! You can send them to me on Facebook so others can see too.
