Pleasant Tuesday weather with a few showers arriving tonight

SAGINAW, Mich. (WNEM) - Expect brighter conditions and slightly warmer temperatures temperatures today even with clouds still hanging around. All-in-all, it will be very comfortable so try to get outdoors and enjoy. An incoming warm front will bring even warmer temperatures for the latter parts of this week (take a look in your TV5 First Alert 7-Day Forecast!), but it also does bring along with it some light isolated showers. There’s no need to worry though, rain intensity and coverage will be light and highly isolated.

Today

A cool start slowed down the warming for today. Even Houghton Lake fell to around 33 degrees. Temperatures will recover even with the afternoon clouds, then up to 70 degrees for our official afternoon high temperatures. The slightly warmer temperatures today with a wind that will start to turn southerly at 5 to 10 mph. A few more clouds will develop this afternoon, but Tuesday will have more sunshine than what was experienced yesterday.

Tonight

Mostly cloudy skies make a return ahead of the warm front and they’ll try to bring a few showers too. Our shower chance doesn’t start until after midnight. Any rain is going to be highly isolated/spotty, so it’s not expected to be a rainout by tomorrow morning or even into Wednesday too.

Lows will fall to around 52, keeping conditions a bit milder than Tuesday morning. The wind will turn to the southeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Wednesday

Isolated showers from late overnight will continue into the daytime hours, but staying very spotty. Overall, if you have any outdoor plans or activities there’s no need to cancel.
