4Warn Weather – A calm, cool weekend is in store.
Friday will end with skies ranging from partly cloudy to mostly clear. That lack of cloud cover will support cooling overnight as temperatures tumble into the mid 30s to 40 degrees. Westerly winds will be 10 to 15 mph with a few gusts up to 25 mph.
Saturday
It will be noticeably cooler and breezy on Saturday. Under a mix of sun and clouds, temperatures will only peak around 50 degrees. A few sprinkles cannot be ruled out, but most areas will stay dry. The better chance of a stray shower will be over the Thumb. Westerly winds will be 8 to 16 mph with gusts near 30 mph during the day. At night, chilly air will push lows into the lower to mid 30s.
Sunday
A high-pressure system will continue to influence our weather and allow for abundant sunshine on Sunday. The breezy conditions will also continue with westerly winds of 5 to 15 mph. Gusts will be around 20 mph. Temperatures will be in the mid to 60 degrees. With mostly clear skies, lows will be in the lower to mid 30s.

Patchy frost on Saturday and Sunday nights may require tender or sensitive plants to be covered in traditionally cooler places, such as the Thumb.
The workweek will have a few bumps in the road with up and down temperatures.
