Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue across northern Michigan this evening and into the night, bringing the potential for lightning, small hail, gusty winds, and brief heavy downpours. According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Gaylord, stronger storms could produce more intense bursts of wind and rain, with the unsettled weather pattern expected to last through Tuesday. Conditions will remain partly cloudy between storm activity.
Forecasters warn of localized impacts such as reduced visibility during heavy downpours and slippery road conditions. Overnight lows are expected to range from 69 to 72 degrees, contributing to a humid and unstable atmosphere heading into Monday.
Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts for updates and be prepared to take shelter during periods of lightning or hail. Outdoor plans tonight may be interrupted by scattered storms, which could develop quickly. The National Weather Service notes that this weather pattern is conducive to sporadic thunderstorms over the next two days, particularly during the late afternoon and evening hours. Travelers and boaters across inland lakes and the Great Lakes shoreline are urged to exercise caution.
This active weather is part of a broader unsettled stretch affecting much of the Midwest, with fluctuating temperatures and shifting wind patterns keeping storm chances elevated into midweek.
