Weather variability in Michigan
Daily weather forecasts in Michigan can be unpredictable due to the volatile nature of lake-effect weather. Cold air passing over warm water can cause extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the state lacks comprehensive weather-measuring coverage, which can impact forecast accuracy, according to Dr. Jeffrey Andresen, the state climatologist for Michigan.
