1 week ago | wnem.com | Stone Schafer

SAGINAW, Mich. (WNEM) - We’ve continued to enjoy a very pleasant Memorial Day weekend across the region. While temperatures haven’t been the warmest with most areas sitting below average, many have stayed dry. Radar has shown a few small cells trying to develop just north and south of the Bay. More dry skies appear to be the trend as we head into the new week, but will that hold for long? Memorial Day:The only note for Sunday night is to expect lows in the 40s across much of the region.
