Haven't said this much this fall, but cooler-than-average temperatures are here through the weekend!
Nothing unusual for mid-November, though. The chill won't last long, with milder-than-average temperatures returning next week!

Has the weather felt unusually nice where you live?
It was the least cloudy October in decades for much of the Northeast. Skies were also much clearer than average from the Mid-Atlantic to the Midwest.
El Niño has helped to shift the jet stream to the north of the region.

51 year anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Some information below on the weather conditions that fateful day. #MIwx
Knowing it's November 10... it's going to an ideal weather day!
Sunshine will be abundant, along with temperatures soaring above-average (which is around 50°). It'll be slightly cooler at the lakeshore, but still enjoyable.

Starting tonight at 1 AM, we’ll be sharing the real radio transmissions from the night the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost on Lake Superior, 50 years ago.
These posts will follow the timeline as it happened, from the first reports of rough seas to the ship’s final transmission.
We share them in remembrance of the 29 men who were lost, and in respect for all who work the Great Lakes.

The Milwaukee Brewers had people sharing a lot of sad stories over the past few days. A lot of happy ones, too. In a world of screens and silos, sports are one of our last bastions for connection.

Easygoing weather continues despite cloudiness throughout Tuesday. Sunshine wins out Wednesday, along with more warmth.
Passing showers return Thursday... and we do need some rain. It's been a nice stretch as of late, but we're in a deficit of rain this month.

Fall warmth continues this weekend, along with easygoing conditions.
Only 'wrinkle' is more fog development overnight, lasting through mid-morning Saturday. Sunshine returns once the fog is out of the area.

Pockets of fog will become more widespread overnight and into early Friday morning, with locally dense fog possible.
We're already seeing this along parts of the lakeshore, particularly across Oceana and Mason Counties, where dense fog has developed.

SUNNY OCTOBER! ☀️Grand Rapids is on pace for one of its sunniest Octobers. Through the 20th, we've enjoyed over 70% of possible sunshine, which would rank in the top 10.
More sunny days ahead before clouds become more widespread. We'll see where we end up!

Mother Nature is bringing an extended stretch of quietness and fall warmth to West Michigan.
Going to run out of ways to describe the weather! Truly as quiet as it can be for October…

True taste of fall to end the week! Scattered showers, cool, and breezy.
Gusts will be strongest at the lakeshore, potentially exceeding 40 mph.

What a moment! On this date 20 years ago, Magglio Ordoñez hit a home run to send the Tigers to the 2006 World Series
Gradual temperature tumble... we'll work our way back to reality by the end of the week.
While rain arrives by late Thursday, the impact will be felt Friday as winds ramp up (gusts near/exceed 40 mph).
