Central Michigan Seven Days From Now

High pressure should be able to keep things dry during the day on Wednesday, but showers and thunderstorms will be possible again Wednesday night and Thursday. A strong to severe storm may form here as well, but this is not guaranteed.

The pattern is favorable for thunderstorm clusters to form and produce damaging winds, but the path of these stronger storms appears to be south and west of central Michigan at this time.

Highs will be near 80 degrees on Wednesday and in the lower 80s on Thursday.

Friday through next Sunday is expected to be dry and mostly sunny, with afternoon temperatures ranging between 78° and 84°. This should make for a pleasant July second weekend. Low temperatures in the 50s will also be ideal for sleeping.

Overall, the weather in central Michigan has been fairly typical for early July, with some dry days and storm chances on other days. The normal high temperature for this time of year in Mount Pleasant is 84°, and the normal low temperature is 61°, so any nighttime low in the 50s is cooler than normal but very comfortable.
