A severe thunderstorm knocked over trees and powerlines around the Otsego Lake State Park area in Otsego County south of Gaylord Monday evening. Quiet weather on Tuesday for the most part. The remains of formerly Hurricane Beryl will sweep mainly Central/Southern Michigan Tuesday night into Wednesday with our area seeing a few showers but nothing too impactful. Mild summer weather is upcoming as well with highs from Thursday through next Monday generally in the 80's.

TUESDAY (JUL 9): Outside of a minimal chance for a pop-up afternoon storm along/east of I-75 Tuesday will end up dry and quiet. Clouds will slowly increase from the south as the remnants of Beryl track toward the Great Lakes. Highs range from 73-85F. Onshore breeze near the Great Lakes at 5-10 mph.

WEDNESDAY (JUL 10): As mentioned above, the remains of Hurricane Beryl will lift across the region. It appears the best rain chances will lie south or east of Gaylord but showers are possible elsewhere. The heavier rain will lie downstate with places like Flint and Detroit perhaps seeing 2+" of rain but a lot less up this way. Either way, cloudy in most spots all day long. Highs from 75-81F. NE to North wind 5-10 mph.

THURSDAY (JUL 11): Pleasant weather returns Thursday with a partly cloudy sky. I suppose a "pop-up" shower or storm can't be completely excluded but the majority of the area will be relatively quiet. Highs Thursday will reach 78-84F.

EXTENDED FORECAST: A nice stretch coming up Friday through the weekend for the most part with highs reaching the 80's and a decent amount of sunshine. As is typical this time of year a pop-up shower or storm remain possible but not really enough to include in the forecast. Slightly better chances arrive Sunday afternoon in the Lower Peninsula. A front approaches Monday with scattered thunderstorms in the forecast early next week.
