LANSING, Mich. — Mostly clear skies are on tap for this evening and overnight. Patchy fog is expected to develop closer to morning, and could be locally dense in some spots. Lows will remain comfortably cool, but above average in the mid 50s.
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.
If you're making the trip to Detroit for this week's Lions game, the weather's looking perfect for traveling and tailgating! Sunny skies are expected for pre-game and post-game, with temperature starting in the 60s, heading for the mid and upper 70s later in the afternoon.
The ridge of high pressure responsible for this weekend's sunny and summerlike weather will stick around well into next week. Monday through Thursday will continue to feature partly to mostly sunny skies, with highs remaining in the upper 70s to around 80 on Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures are likely to cool a bit by midweek, but will still be a few degrees above average in the low 70s through Thursday. The only hint of true Fall currently in the forecast comes Wednesday night, with lows currently expected to fall into the mid 40s.
