There are some disagreements with forecast models as to what our weekend forecast will be for Labor Day weekend though the GFS has been consistent with some kind of moisture around the temps have been warmer than what was considered earlier this week keeping us in the low to mid-70s. The Euro tries to bring in some 90° temps, I will be surprised if that happens. The NAM is in pretty close agreement with the GFS so I am going to say we won’t get much warmer than the upper 70s, maybe an 80° as an outlier in some locations on Labor day. Chances of rain increase on Sunday continuing through Monday.

Forecast Discussion
- Quiet and Cool Weather Saturday and Sunday Upper troughing will bring cool weather through Sunday. A cold front could touch off light rain showers on Saturday but most places will remain dry as moisture is limited. Warm advection pattern with some returning moisture could bring rain showers by late Sunday. - Chance for rain Labor Day There will be a better chance for rain by Monday as some Gulf inflow is tapped and mid level instability increases with a scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon along a cold front. - Wet pattern possible later next week The front may stall somewhere across Lower Michigan with waves of low pressure moving along it and this pattern continues much of the week as a cut of low slowly approaches from the southwest.

48* degrees overnight thats window shutting cold out at thee YARDofBRICKS NE of GR time to get to the store and get a filter for the furnace great Scotty ….INDY ….
Always colder at Indy’s place LOL But 6 degrees cooler than GR sounds impossible. Sorry.
I’m not in GR sorry but 48* degrees is window shutting cold. …INDY …
At my house the overnight low was 49 so a low of 48 at Indy’s is very much possible.
Slim
Hard to take in 40’s on here for some Slim…For sure it was cool overnight around the area ..INDY
Slim, if you get time could you look up the Summer days totals for above/below/even? Some claim there were more below, but I’d put my money on way more above. Be interesting either way to see the stats.
For meteorological summer 2020 there were a total of 31 days with a mean below average there was one day at average and a total of 60 days of above average. For days above/below it was June 18 above, 12 below. July 25 above, 6 below. August 17 above, 1 at average and 13 below. The meteorological summer mean for 2020 was 72.4°

Nice, thanks Slim! Looks like my guess was right with double the #of days above.
For those with a selective memory, all last weekend we had below normal temps!! incredible!
That is incorrect. We’ve only had 1 below average temp day in the last 15 days. Just another incredible warm streak.
As usual you are 100% incorrect! Wow!
Yes definitely can go over a month with out a 90* degree day then all of a sudden have one and its like great Scotty more 90’s like they been happening for weeks straight …..Lol..INDY
It looks like another below normal temp day on tap! Enjoy!
“Another” would imply that we had a below average day recently. We have not.
Well, it is the ceremonial end of summer. Not looking forward to taking the boats and dock out of the lake Monday afternoon, but it is what it is. I hope everyone has an enjoyable holiday weekend.
