This is the map for Saturday morning. It is showing what is expected to happen on Saturday. In this case, an area of low pressure will move into northern Michigan. This is a slow moving system. It moves into Michigan on Friday and stays through the weekend and into Tuesday. With the low over us, we will have temperatures in the 40s with rain all weekend. So for most outdoor activity, things will be damp and chilly.

With no sunshine, the color tour won’t be as nice, but if you say my picture (posted on the left) on my Twitter feed yesterday, you saw that many of the trees have lost a good portion of their leaves. So I say we are definitely past peak in the Gaylord-Vanderbilt-Boyne Falls region. This will be the last mention of the color tour for the season. I leave you with the satellite shot from 22 Oct around noon if you are looking to see what the surrounding areas look like.

Now for the big news…If you like the four letter s word, then you will be happy to know that it is in the forecast for Monday and Tuesday. However, if you are thinking about getting your snow mobiles out, think again. The first snow of the year hardly ever accumulates enough to stay, and this is no exception. However, if it is starting to get cold enough to snow, then the more permanent stuff won’t be far behind, can it?

Looking at the 8-14 day outlook, we are in normal temperatures and precipitation for the 31 Oct.-2 Nov. weekend. This means that high temperatures around the 50 degree mark, and normal low temperatures around freezing. So we will see how this will turn out, but with the snow in the early part of the week, it may mean that we will be on the cold side of things in the coming weeks. We will see.

So the recap…rain showers through the weekend and temperatures in the 40s.
