LANSING, Mich. — Partly cloudy skies this evening will give way to increasing clouds overnight as a potent low pressure system moves into the Great Lakes. A stray shower will be possible around daybreak, with temperatures briefly dipping to the upper 40s, then climbing back to the mid 50s by sunrise.

A few showers may pass through our neighborhoods during the Friday morning commute, but the bigger story on Friday will be the increasing winds. As sun and clouds take over by midday, westerly winds will increase to 15-25 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph at times.

Take some time tonight to secure any loose items around your home like patio furniture and garbage cans. Make sure to keep a tight grip on your steering wheel too, especially if you drive a high-profile vehicle. Highs Friday will remain on the cooler side in the mid 60s.
