Spring may have sprung in Upper Michigan. After a gorgeous Easter weekend with temps in the 50-60 degree range, the sun remains in the forecast for most of this week. Temperatures near the lake are approaching 50, but inland we're looking at mid 60s.
Spring is definitely long overdue.
Hopefully the sun and warm weather will hang around long enough for some pleasant weather for commencement this Saturday, April 29th. Distinguished Faculty Awards announced Louise M. Bourgault and Lucille A. Contois are this year's recipients of the Northern Michigan University Distinguished Faculty Awards.
