Weekend Weather: Cool Start, Soggy End
The weekend got off to a cool start with temperatures dipping into the high 30s on Saturday morning. While the sun will be out for most of the day, increasing cloud coverage is expected as the day carries into the afternoon hours.
Saturday’s Forecast
Saturday day will see a bit more sunshine compared to Sunday, so make sure to soak up the sun as daylight saving time ends this weekend, so the sun will set by 4:44 p.m. Sunday. The water temperature in Lake Michigan is currently 58 degrees, so areas closer to the water will see slightly warmer temperatures. Temperatures are expected to climb into the 50s by the afternoon hours and the slightly warmer weather should stick around into the evening hours.
