Fantastic Friday!

Good Morning!


The weekend is finally knocking at the door.  It's my usual busiest day of the week, so there will be no audio forecast today, and an abbreviated discussion this morning.  Plan of action is to supplement this post with an update this afternoon that will contain a more complete "deeper dive".  Let's touch on a few things though; we'll call this "walking in the shallow end". :-)


TEMPERATURES:  Nothing earth-shattering in terms of extreme temperatures, but modeling indicates a warming trend, with temperatures looking to take a shot at 80 for the latter part of next week.


RAIN:  Looking fairly dry for the next six days.  That being said, there is a chance of showers and perhaps a roaming thunderstorm or two, models suggest the timing of those will be mid-afternoon or early evening on Saturday, with the chance possibly carrying over into Sunday.  After that, odds are good we'll stay dry the next five days.


SEVERE WEATHER:  Nothing forecast for the next three days in Michigan, but the "general" risk of plain Jane thunderstorms is there.  West Michigan has it today, and it moves to clip roughly the southeastern two-thirds of the South Central Michigan Weather Zone for tomorrow.  


Here's your local forecast for Jackson and surrounding communities including Cement City and Rives Junction:


Today, mainly sunny skies, some passing clouds during the afternoon, mild, high of 72, winds SW, 7-14 MPH.

Tonight, clear skies, low of 50, SW winds 5-10 MPH.

Saturday, mainly clear with increasing clouds during the afternoon, breezy, a widely scattered shower or lonely thunderstorm cannot be ruled out, high near 73.  Winds W 7-14 MPH.

Saturday night, mainly cloudy skies, perhaps a peek at some stars, still a chance a widely scattered shower or storm, nighttime low of 48.

Sunday, periods of clouds and sunshine, still a chance of an isolated shower, high 71.

Monday, bright blue skies, pleasant, high 73.


Tuesday, sunny, nice, high 75.


Wednesday, a carbon copy of Tuesday, except add a couple of degrees, high of 77.


There's a look at your forecast for the next 6 days.  I hope your Friday is a great one.  Blessings.
