As advertised, the rain showers and so forth are going on, with some showers activity tracking through the very southern tier of counties at this hour. Here's a look at the NEXRAD radar image from Detroit showing that activity moving through. We'll take a deeper dive and find out how much longer we'll have to see the raindrops.
SEVERE WEATHER: The southern two-thirds of lower Michigan is under a "general" risk for just your plain garden-variety thunderstorms, with a "slight" risk for extreme southeastern Monroe county. We'll see a break in the action around here, and then more rain and non-severe storms will re-fire later on. Today is the only day of the next three that Michigan or the blog area are expected to be under any threat of severe weather, so here's the map from the Storm Prediction Center for today, outlining that risk.
RAIN: Still a fairly dry look the next five days, considering there's not going to be a whole lot of sun. Forecast rainfall totals are coming in at an inch or less across the board. Here's that forecast map from the National Weather Service:
Based on the forecast modeling, I'd say this map looks pretty good, and most spots in the blog should land at right about a half inch. The southern tier of counties in the blog, Branch, Hillsdale and Lenawee, should be right around the .75 inch range. After today it looks like we stay dry until into Wednesday evening.
TEMPERATURES: We'll be cooling it down for a few days on the back side of a surface low that is making it's presence nearby known with the rain. Temperatures drop back into the 60's for daytime highs and nighttime lows roll down to the low 40's, with a bit of moderation later in the week as we get back into the 70's. Here's a look at the temperatures around the nation currently:
And here's the local forecast for Jackson County:
Today cloudy skies, seasonable, scattered showers and a few buried thunderstorms, with a high of 70. Winds swing from ESE to westerly, 7-15 MPH.
Tonight, cloudy, still a chance of an isolated or scattered shower or storm, lows roll back to 48, winds NW 6-12 MPH.
Tuesday, a mixture of clouds and sunshine, a chance of isolated showers early, high of 68.
Tuesday night, mainly cloudy with a few breaks for stars here and there, lows down to 45 NW winds 5-10 MPH.
Wednesday, cloudy skies, possibly a peek of sun, cooler, perhaps the chance of an isolated shower, highs only make it to 62.
Thursday, skies clear and become mostly sunny, cool, high of 63.
Friday, clear skies, warmer, high 68.
Saturday, more clouds than sun, a chance at a shower, high near 71.
There's a look at your forecast for the next 5 days, have a great Monday! Blessings!
