Mid-Michigan weather takes an unseasonably cool turn again

After a brief flash of late-Spring warmth on Monday, temperatures are back below normal again.

LANSING, Mich. — A trough of low pressure has dug back in across the Great Lakes, taking us back to temperatures more typical of early April as opposed to early May. We'll stay out of frost territory tonight, owing to persistent cloud cover and even a few showers in neighborhoods south of Lansing. Lows will wind up in the upper 30s to around 40, with some clearing expected closer to sunrise.

Sunny skies Wednesday morning will give way to partly to mostly cloudy skies as the day goes on. No showers are expected, but it will remain unseasonably cool. Highs will remain more than 10 degrees below average in the mid 50s. A NNW breeze at 6-12 mph will add just a little more chill, too.
