Labor Day Weekend 2022 Weather: What To Expect In MI

MICHIGAN — The weather on Labor Day Weekend, considered the last hurrah of summer, will still have a summer feel in Michigan before the holiday is over, according to AccuWeather.

Before a cooler air mass sweeps down from Canada, forecasters expect Michigan to see temperatures possibly reaching 90s degrees. The cooler air mass, however, could set the stage for rain showers.

“The unseasonably warm, humid air in place early this week can set the stage for a dramatic clash of air masses,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Mary Gilbert said on the private weather company’s website.

Labor Day weekend across most of Michigan starts warm Friday with temperatures reaching the mid 80s, AccuWeather meteorologists said. Some parts of northern Michigan, especially around the Traverse City areas could some rain showers Friday night.

Saturday will also be warm in most of the state with temperatures reaching near 90 degrees under clear skies, AccuWeather meteorologists said. Saturday night, however, brings a chance for rain showers across most of the state, including the metro Detroit area.

Comfortable air begins setting in on Sunday across Michigan, including the metro Detroit area, keeping temperatures in the low 80s under clear and sunny skies, AccuWeather meteorologists said.

Labor Day Monday will also see temperatures in the low 80s under clear and sunny skies, as rain showers should stay south of Michigan, AccuWeather meteorologists said.

As it moves across the country, the cold front is expected to trigger severe thunderstorms from the Plains to the Midwest before moving into the interior Northeast, much of the Appalachians and the mid-Atlantic states.

By Thursday, most of the eastern half of the country should be experiencing temperatures in the 80s that are more typical of late summer and early fall, according to the forecast.

AccuWeather said the cooler Labor Day Weekend weather forecast is merely a reprieve from the heat and humidity. AccuWeather’s fall 2022 forecast calls for a warmer-than-normal start to autumn.
