You can google "weather" and find sites that give you weekly/daily reports, projection. You can even do that on your smartphone.

Not sure where you are coming from but Great Lakes in March is "shaky" at best!! Having lived in Michigan all my life, I would say you should plan on "Winter-Like" weather. Usually very windy off of Lake Michigan.

Cold. Very Cold. I grew up in Cleveland Ohio, so I'm used to cold winters. The worst part about Great Lakes is the wind. It will cut right through you. It was in the teens for my husbands graduation. A good winter coat, hat, gloves, and maybe a pair of tights or leggings under your pants depending on the wind chill and you'll be fine, even if you're used to warm weather.
