LANSING, Mich. — High pressure will result in a quiet and dry weather pattern through this afternoon. A cold front will gradually push through the region tonight and Saturday morning, at which point a few showers are possible, but there won't be much. Temps will drop back a few degrees on Saturday before rising again to finish the weekend. Over the next week, Sunday and Monday may prove to be the warmest with highs in the low to mid-80s. Our next best chance for showers and storms will arrive next week Tuesday and Wednesday. It's also worth noting that temperatures will cool off substantially by the middle/end of next week.
***Fall officially arrives Wednesday, September 22 at 3:21 P.M. It's what we call the autumnal equinox, or fall equinox. Equal days and equal nights...about 12 hours of each. Now on Wednesday, we actually have 12 hours and 9 minutes of daylight. This is because we measure sunrise from the first part of the sun above the horizon and sunset as the last bit of sun before it dips below the horizon. Additionally, light bends. Those 2 reasons are why we actually get a little more daylight on the day of the equinox. We'll begin to lose daylight hours even quicker after Wednesday as the sun makes its trek further south of the equator.
