It's 44 degrees under mostly cloudy skies at 6:50 AM at our Leland office. The barometer is at 1011 millibars (29.85 inches) and rising with a relative humidity of 79%. The forecast for today calls for early clouds with partly sunny skies by afternoon and highs in the mid to upper 50s. For the weekend, expect mostly sunny skies with temps in the 50s to low 60s on Saturday and 50s with some clouds and a chance of rain on Sunday.

Weather Resources

Bouy 45002 in Lake Michigan is located halfway between North Manitou Island and Washington Island in Lake Michigan. It provides wind and wave data. Also check out Michigan Sea Grant Coastwatch for water temps (the "early evening" images in their archive will give you a better idea of actual temps during peaks swimming hours).

Leland, Michigan Forecast from Ann Arbor based wunderground

Weather Underground is just about as old as the internet (the first net weather service) and is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Sometimes the above banner will show personal weather system data from Leland and sometimes it comes from a vineyard on Old Mission (it tells you which in the top left of the page it links to).
