This Week’s Weather Around the Upper Peninsula:
The Upper Peninsula has decided to offer three completely different climates this week, because consistency is for people who live in Indiana.
The Western U.P. starts warm but stays the most comfortable of the three regions. The Central U.P. is preparing for several days that feel suspiciously like Missouri. Meanwhile, the Eastern U.P. continues its annual tradition of reminding everyone that Lake Superior owns the thermostat.
By the end of the week, everyone gets a better deal, with temperatures settling back into something that resembles a Yooper summer and scattered shower chances returning.

DAILY PASTY BOTTOM LINE
Central U.P.: Hydrate. You’re about to discover what it feels like to live inside a pasty oven.
Western U.P.: Summer arrives, but politely.
