Enjoy the warm weather this week because it will get much colder next week and parts of Michigan may even see their first snowfalls by Tuesday. Happy Halloween!

This shows our transition point from warmer to cooler weather.

After having 4 days with highs in the 80s over Southwest Michigan, to start October, a series of cold fronts will lower our high temperatures by Saturday into the lower 50s. The cooler temperatures are expected to last into the middle of next week before another slow warm up begins. Widespread rainfall, mostly between a quarter and half an inch will occur Thursday as the front moves through. Lake effect rain showers are expected into early next week.

It will fell like fall by Friday morning and that chilly and showery weather my last into Tuesday morning before the system is far enough to east to allow for some clearing. It will remain chilly Tuesday into Wednesday before a warm up starts by Thursday of next week.

Some rather dramatic changes are likely in our weather over the western Great Lakes this week into early next week. Highs in the 80s are expected Sunday into Tuesday, then highs are expected to fall into lower to mid 50s by next weekend. Expect widespread rainfall during the midweek period too.
