3/3 Michigan Weather 6 AM: Tuesday Forecast

Good morning. Michigan. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you'll feel 24 degrees. Looks clear overhead, right? Don't trust it. A warm front stalled across Ohio is quietly pushing low clouds our way. And tucked behind those clouds. A warm up that's going to flip this state upside down by the weekend. In the next 24 hours. But first, today. Southeast Michigan sits under mostly cloudy skies. You'll climb to 40 degrees, which honestly feels generous after this morning. A slight chance of drizzle sneaks in between 10 A.M. and 3 P.M. Nothing dramatic. Just enough to make your windshield annoying. Tonight settles to 30 degrees under stubborn clouds. Swing over to West Michigan and you're doing slightly better. Highs near 43 degrees with that same light drizzle chance around midday. Skies partly clear tonight, dropping you to 26 degrees. One thing to watch. Patchy fog early Wednesday morning. Give yourself an extra minute on the road. Now Northern Michigan. You folks won the day. Partly sunny, bone dry, 41 degrees. Tonight dips to 27 degrees under partly cloudy skies. And Wednesday? Gorgeous. Sunny and 50 degrees. Speaking of Wednesday, that warming trend builds statewide. Fifties in spots. Enjoy every second of it, because Thursday the rain moves in and sticks around through Saturday. We're talking a quarter to half an inch, with thunderstorms Friday into Saturday. Thunder in early March. That's your sign spring is knocking. The payoff is real though. Highs surge into the 60s by the weekend. Sunday clears out with sunshine and mid 50s. The spring equinox is just two weeks out. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every single day. And tonight, look up after sunset. That full moon is going to be something special. I'll be tracking that Thursday rain all week. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
