Typically, most of Michigan would have seen its first freeze by this point in the season, according to the Midwestern Regional Climate Center.
While Lansing, Grand Rapids and Flint have all seen overnight temperatures drop into the 30s this season – this weekend is poised to become the first time since spring that the mercury will have fallen to 32° Fahrenheit or lower in any of those cities.
How Cold Is It Going to Be This Weekend?
The focus appears to be on Sunday night (10/22), heading into Monday morning (10/23).
After highs in the 50s earlier in the day on Sunday, temperatures are expected to fall to the freezing mark or below – even if it’s briefly – in the wee hours of Monday morning. Precipitation is not expected.
