Patchy fog and sunny breaks Wednesday following frontal system passage. Then, a strong Colorado-based system approaches Western Upper Michigan late Wednesday night, spreading rain and thunderstorm chances into the Eastern U.P. through Thursday. Rainy, stormy conditions continue Friday through Sunday as a Northern Plains frontal system sweeps west through east over the region.

Temperatures overall trend above seasonal this week, followed by a cooldown period next week as the jet stream dips south of the Upper Peninsula.
