Late Summer Sun, Then Wet Again...

Good Evening!

Some time to sit down and have a look at the weather data now, and it can be summed up in a couple of words...refreshing, then wet.  Let's look and see what we have under the hood for the next few days here:

TEMPERATURES:  After unseasonably cool temperatures yesterday that I didn't pick up, ultimately leading to a major BUST on my forecast (10 degrees cooler than I predicted), things warm back up some for Sunday and the start of the new work week.  We see temperatures make it back into the 70's and stay in that area until midweek next week, when an 80 might show up.  We're definitely seeing a preview of the end of summer in the regime that we are in.  The ridge/trough setup persists, even though the western ridge does flatten some and allow some warmer air to work it's way in, again, not until next week.  Winds work their way back to westerly as well.

RAIN:  After a brief break in the rainfall for tomorrow, rain chances start to creep back up on Monday, into Tuesday, which is looking pretty wet at this point, then we keep a chance of precipitation in the forecast right through the end of next week.  Here's a look at the five day precipitation forecast from the National Weather Service...

5 Day Precipitation Forecast

As you can see, still a decently wet outlook, with most areas coming up in the one inch ballpark over the next five days.  We'll take the rain even though it arrived later than we hoped that it would have.

SEVERE WEATHER:  Things are looking quiet in this part of the world as far as severe weather.  The Storm Prediction Center has no formal risk outlined for Michigan in the next three days.
