The GFS model shows highs ranging from 63 to 68. ICON model 61 to 67. No trace of 70s to be found.

Oh, and the weather forecasting is 10x worse in Northeast Michigan - it never ceases to amaze me how the effects of Lake Huron get overlooked in the forecast models. So many times we miss the forecast highs by 10 to 20 degrees.

That's why they are meteorologists and we are mere mortals. It's not nice to fool Mother Nature

It's usually smarter to wait til at least early afternoon to bash the forecast :).

Twas 70 and clear here in Fremont on Saturday and 75 and clear on Sunday. Though looking toward the southeast on Saturday as they sat all day in the low 40s... whew, that had to suck for them!

This is pure insanity if this snowstorm materializes. GFS models projecting upwards of a foot of snow in some parts of the lower peninsula Saturday night into Sunday:
