Massive Cooldown Heading Toward Michigan Brings Frigid Fall Temps

Michigan residents still have time to enjoy the summer season as far as the calendar is concerned. But as we enter the end of summer, our first strong cold front is getting ready to move through Michigan. According to weather forecasts from NOAA, as the remains of Hurricane “Debby” move up the East Coast, the counter-clockwise winds around the system will bring down frigid cool air from Canada. Temperatures will barely warm to 70 degrees across the state this weekend and overnight temps will drop down to the mid-50s according to weather maps.  An extended forecast for Michigan also shows that the early autumn cold snap will give us a glimpse of what's to come for winter in the Great Lakes State.
