[R-sig-ME] Incorporating a Temporal Correlation Structure in a GLM

Hello,

I'm attempting to use mixed-model logistic regression to model spadefoot emergence as a function of weather variables (individuals are monitored continuously from 1-84 days [with gaps]).  However, the weather variables are serially autocorrelated,
apparently at a lag of 12 days or so.  Does anyone have experience incorporating a temporal autocorrelation structure of predictor variables into a glm?  I've been examining the lme4 package but it does not appear to be able to do this.  

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
