Northern Michigan Recreation Weather

Well, hang on to your forecasts folks, as always with Michigan weather, we are going to have some change ups in the forecast.

Looking at 3 to 5 days out on the HPC forecasts, the main low is to our east and it looks like high pressure builds back into the western Great Lakes and into northern Michigan.  This will bring us to sunny to partly cloudy conditions on Friday and Saturday. The forecast from the previous preview was for showers on Saturday, but now they have moved to Sunday. It looks like low pressure in the upper atmosphere will move back into the Great Lakes on Sunday bringing the chance of showers. Temperatures are a little more unsettled as the high on Friday will be in the lower to mid 70s, with Saturday and Sunday in the mid to upper 60s (It’s too bad HPC doesn’t put their maps on a RSS feed or permalink them. My links to the graphics will probably change Wednesday morning as you read my preview.).

I’m not sure if I believe that or not, yet. I’m hoping the idea will be more clear tomorrow night when I record the podcast. I will try to update the blog over the next few days regardless so that you have the most up-to-date outlook. Also remember to check the NWS office nearest you, and in northern michigan that would be the Gaylord office.

As for the podcast, I’m looking forward to doing it again. It’s been almost 3 months since I had my surgery and had to take a hiatus.

I try not to get to far ahead in the forecast. I usually wait until Tuesday for my previews, but since some are getting the jump on the weekend. I thought I would try to get some posts out ahead. After looking at the maps, I’m hopefully optimistic for a decent forecast. Looking at HPC’s 7 day forecast maps for the sfc and at about 15,000 feet, the middle of the week (1 July) looks wet and dreary. However, as we get to the end of the week, the upper level low moves out (this is what causes the dreary midweek weather) and we get into “Northwest Flow.” This means we will warm a bit and get scattered precipitation. At this point Friday and Sunday look great with temperatures in the 70s and Sunny to Partly cloudy skies. Saturday is the iffy one, but at this point it is hard to tell the timing of the showers and thunderstorms. The High on Independence day is expected to be near 80 around the region.

The 4th of July is a week away. I’ll definitely get an update to the preview out and a podcast on Wednesday(!).  It’s great to be back in the saddle.

I already tweeted this, but I added Word Press Mobile to the website. I might change the plugin as I see a new version that let’s you admin from mobile as well. I’ll let this rest for a bit and let it ride. for now. I meant to start blogging about the Holiday, but obviously I have been getting sidetracked.
