Seasonable With A Few Showers...

Good Morning!


Clear skies in South Central Michigan this morning with nice cool temperatures.  We'll be keeping things seasonable and nice for the next few days here, and not a lot of rain in the forecast.  Let's pop the hood.


TEMPERATURES:  Should stay in the range of low to mid 80's for daytime highs with nighttime lows in the 60's, though for tonight, some areas have a chance at dipping all the way into the lower 50's.  The 80's/60's pattern looks to hold pretty much through the entire forecast window.


RAIN:  A series of "ridge runner" disturbances will bring us chances of rain on Monday into Tuesday, then again on Thursday.  As has been the case, showers and storms that do form look to have some gaps, so isolated to scattered will be the rule coverage-wise.  We should stay around a half inch for the coming five days according to the National Weather Service, here's that map:

5 Day Precipitation Forecast

SEVERE WEATHER:  Two words: Not here.  The Storm Prediction Center is forecasting nothing for the Lower Peninsula for the next five days.  The U.P. gets a low end 5% crack at storms on Monday.  Right now that's all there is in the area.  All the severe chances are off in the Plains or over on the Eastern Seaboard.


Grand Rapids NEXRAD is quiet, there's a few clouds on the visible satellite image over southeast Michigan:

There's a look at your forecast for the next six days, i do hope you have a great day!  Blessings.
