Warming & Clearing trend moving forward

SAGINAW, Mich. (WNEM) - A mostly cloudy and cool Saturday night will lead into a gradual warm-up across mid-Michigan as we head into the new week. More sunshine is expected Monday and Tuesday, bringing a welcome break from the clouds and cool temperatures. By Tuesday, highs will reach the mid to upper 50s, above normal for mid-November and perfect for getting outside and enjoying the afternoon.

Saturday Night:

Most areas will stay dry Saturday night, but a few light showers or patches of drizzle are possible during the evening, particularly across the Thumb. Later Saturday night into early Sunday morning, rain showers could move farther into the Thumb as winds shift. The best chance will be in eastern parts of the Thumb, though the exact reach of the showers is uncertain. If you’re heading out late Saturday or early Sunday, it may be worth keeping an umbrella nearby in the Thumb just in case.

Sunday 1 AM (WNEM) Any precipitation near the shoreline is expected to fall as rain. Even if a shower makes it farther inland, it would likely remain mostly or entirely rain, no snow is expected. Clouds will remain widespread through Saturday night. The same weather pattern that has kept the region cool is also helping hold moisture in place, making it difficult for skies to clear quickly. It will be a typical cool November night with limited clearing.

Lows Tonight (WNEM) Sunday:

Sunday will be a transition day as we shift from the cool pattern toward warmer air. Any lingering showers in the Thumb should gradually wind down during the day, while most of mid-Michigan remains dry.

Sunday 2 PM (WNEM) Clouds may be slow to break up, and temperatures will stay on the cool side, with afternoon highs in the 40s.

Sunday Highs (WNEM) A jacket will definitely be useful for Sunday plans including opening day of Deer firearm season, especially while the clouds linger and the breeze picks up.

Opening Day, Firearm Season (WNEM) Conditions should improve later in the day as high pressure brings drier air into the region and helps any remaining showers fade. By Sunday evening, you should notice the clouds beginning to thin out and conditions becoming more settled. This is the transition day, not quite there yet, but getting closer to the nicer weather ahead.

Sunday 8 PM (WNEM) Monday:

By Monday, that area of high pressure will bring a more settled start to the workweek. Clouds are expected to decrease significantly, with more sunshine and dry weather across mid-Michigan.

Monday 4 PM (WNEM) High temperatures will climb into the low 50s, a welcome change from Sunday’s chill. You’ll notice the difference right away, especially if you’re heading out during the afternoon hours. It’s a good day to get outside and enjoy the improving conditions.

Monday Highs (WNEM) Tuesday:

The warming trend continues Tuesday, with mostly sunny skies and highs reaching the mid to upper 50s in many areas. Those temperatures will be above normal for mid-November and should make for comfortable afternoon conditions for outdoor plans. This will be the nicest day of the stretch, plenty of sunshine, mild temperatures, and dry conditions throughout. If you’ve been waiting for a good day to get outside and enjoy some fresh air, Tuesday is your day. Take advantage of the sunshine and above-normal warmth before any additional changes arrive later in the week.
