FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Michiganders woke up to overcast skies, and rain showers in the southern portion of the state this Friday morning as a Low-pressure system moves across the Great Lakes. This system will make its way eastward this afternoon which will open the door for a High-pressure system to move in for Saturday. We will dry out during the day on Saturday with temperatures ranging in the 50s across the state with plenty of sunshine, thanks to the High-pressure. Unfortunately, though, this will be short lived as another system moves in Saturday night into Sunday which will bring more rain, but warmer temperatures. A warm front will provide precipitation along with southerly flow which will push temperatures into the 70s for the lower peninsula and the upper-50s to 60s for the upper peninsula. This warm front will keep winds in the southerly direction which will keep our temperatures in the 60s and 70s to start next week.
For air quality, low-Moderate PM-2.5 concentrations can be expected later today, Friday, and into Saturday as winds shift around from southeasterly to southwesterly. These concentrations are only expected in the southern portions of the lower peninsula, more specifically in the Detroit and Grand Rapids areas. Once the front moves in with the rain on Sunday, concentrations should decrease into the Good range.
EXTENDED FORECAST:
Warmer temperatures hang around early next week with multiple rounds of rain. Air quality is expected to be in the Good range.
