LANSING, Mich. — Isolated showers and a few thunderstorms remain possible through early this evening as upper-level low pressure finally begins to depart the Great Lakes. Any hints of wet weather will wrap up shortly after sunset, leaving partly cloudy skies behind for the rest of the night. Another round of patchy fog will develop closer to daybreak, as lows dip to the low 50s.
We've gone through prolonged periods of similar weather recently, and that overall pattern won't be changing soon. Mostly sunny skies return on Friday, also bringing a renewed push of unseasonably warm temperatures similar to what we experienced last week. Highs will climb back to the upper 70s to close out the work week, and that pattern is set to carry us through the weekend and well into next week.
While it will be a gorgeous weekend to get outdoors, we're in that tough time of year where many of us are anxious to settle into some cooler Fall temperatures. Unfortunately for those folks, we'll be coming up way short in that department for the next several days. Still, mostly sunny skies both Saturday and Sunday will make for a beautiful weekend as highs climb to the upper 70s and low 80s.
Even with the lack of cooler temperatures, the Fall colors are beginning to break out across the state. The latest fall foliage report still has little to no color in our neighborhoods, with low color breaking out to the north. Moderate to high color is being reported in the western U.P.
