Record heat is going to hit Michigan through this coming weekend. In some cases the new records will replace high temperatures from the 1930s and even older.

The entire Lower Peninsula will flirt with or set new record high temperatures Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The heat will spread in again from the northwest, which has been the case all summer. The northern Michigan cities of Traverse City, Pellston and Gaylord have a better chance of shattering old records than southeast Michigan cities.

But all cities in Lower Michigan could set a new record high or two by the end of the weekend.

Record high temperatures for some southeast Michigan cities.

The graphs above are forecasts from the National Weather Service - White Lake for southeast Lower. I feel their temperature forecasts are on the low end of what will happen this weekend. I would agree that Detroit will have a harder time setting record highs compared to Flint and Saginaw. One of my favorite models gets Saginaw up to 94deg Friday.

Record high temperatures for some southwest Lower Michigan cities.

Grand Rapids will probably set record highs Saturday and Sunday. Lansing may only set a record high Sunday. Muskegon could shatter records four days in a row.

High temperature forecasts compared to record highs for some northern Michigan cities.

Most of the northern Michigan cities will set at least two record high temperatures over the next four days.

Some of these record high temperatures were set back in 1936 and 1937. A few of the record highs in jeopardy were established in the late 1800s.

Whether it's an official record high or not at your location this weekend, it will be a sizzling weekend for all of Lower Michigan.
